Are there any archive sites that routinely just crawl Facebook and social media? I’ve tried archive.is and their specific searches and not found much. Mother had a Pinterest page but it’s wiped. Where can I anonymously look up birth records? I can only see pay-and-dox-yourself things like ordering a birth cert copy. Mormon records not throwing anything either which is unusual.
I’m just very surprised that nobody had managed to pin down who alphonse is and how very thoroughly their SM profiles have been wiped.
Again I can only tell you what I know from the burger side, as if I see a target is UK based I say forget it, Jake...
Facebook used to sometimes generate google caches but not anymore, as google has stopped doing that on purpose. If you want to archive something from there use the "copy link" button on a specific post and go with that. Entire profiles or pages don't tend to work on archive.ph.
The other social media sites are pretty much the same, they don't generate a cache ghost anymore. I have sometimes been able to pull an X/Twitter page from google cache, but rarer and rarer.
Birth records in the USA, you're not getting that without paying for it and being properly authorized. Someone under the age of 18 who has no googleable social media presence will also have no public records presence and will be a cypher unless you can find a way in the side door, ie mom's socials.
Public records here are generated by things like the DMV, voter registration, utility registration- things that happen after you turn 18 and are a legal adult. It usually takes a couple years for those records to float over to the people finder sites which are used by telemarketers and yours truly. It's about 50/50 on whether anything will come up on there for someone under about 21.
If the UK gov is indeed trying to shield "communities" from the consequences of this incident they will have had their people go in and wipe out any and all socials from hour zero. I see this in the USA with high profile cases and glowies involved, frequently, ie the Trump shooter.
I have personally, as someone with an interest in the topic, wiped the database records for everyone out to my second cousins, to prevent myself being found. If I can do it, glowies can do it faster and better.
