    Governments won’t scan all your pictures to figure out who you are, they are just going to ask (read: legally force) the website/hoster where you posted that picture for your IP address and/or payment info and then do the same with your ISP/payment provider to convert that into your RL info to figure out who you are.

    And you might not be worried about your RL friends or coworkers but what about people you meet online? Everyone able to see your post on some social media site?

    Nobody is going to scan all the pictures you post for some information that is going to be valid for a long time after it is discovered once. Governments and corporations have had the means to discover who you are once for a long time.
