This why you should always have a personal email and work email.
Can't be arsed to find the ads but:
It is pretty common for assholes to dox sex workers. Either by finding identifiers in ads or just using a hidden camera when they go for a session. And people REALLY do not understand just how trivial it is to access DMV records (sometimes even legally) and run those through a face recognition program.
This leads to various "reviews" that may or may not get deleted but still get indexed by search engines and make those connections.
So even if she had proper opsec, there are good odds that searching her personal email could make her ads come up regardless.
That is very true, but there are still some things that they can do to prevent soccer mom next door who can barely use a search engine.
I mean, if you are that hellbent on finding a way to victim blame during this, sure. But the vast majority of "tech savvy" users would also have no idea how to do that (just look at all the people who are proud to delete their social media accounts and orphan all their secondary data). And a lot of this is very dependent on the ad sites/boards following practices that the sex workers have no control over.
Victim blaming was not my intention. My apologies.
