    Example

    An individual’s social media ‘handle’ or username, which may seem anonymous or nonsensical, is still sufficient to identify them as it uniquely identifies that individual. The username is personal data if it distinguishes one individual from another regardless of whether it is possible to link the ‘online’ identity with a ‘real world’ named individual.
    What this means is Dzian Cielo is enough to distiguish myself as an individual from Hyomin Park. also note the last bit "the username is personal data if it distinguishes one individual from another. regardless of whetehr its possible to ink the online ID with a real world named individual.

    Edit. I know GDPR is european but with the massive us senate privacy thing not so long ago i think theres a us equivelant around the corner.
