Aint no way someone that does torrenting stuff, doesnt have decent enough opsec to prevent instagram from being able to gather useful data on them.
I have come accross what many would consider big time online drug dealers who have little to no opsec... so you may be surprised. People are openly advertising meth on discord ffs.
The difference between pirates and drug dealers is that the former tends to need some level of tech literacy.
I mean you can use discord in a browser on TailsOS through Tor, but yeah maybe they use their own drugs or they are just not so bright in the head to begin with.
Meth dealers are probably the highest violators of the 4th crack commandment.
Opsec of most people: cowabunga till the cops knock on the door
My younger sister has (in the past, quite a while ago, but still) gotten me a cease and desist during a visit and torrenting without a VPN, so I wouldn't say no way.
