You have to also assume that someone had to have saved it too, to their devices.
I go by some of the ancient rules of the internet:
Using your real name in any form be it in an e-mail or screen name is just dumb in practice. If it is used for personal use like you’re sharing it to insurance companies, your banking info. That’s one thing. Nobody online needs to know your real name at all unless you’ve got friends trustworthy enough that you’ve gained online that you want them to know.
Otherwise besides those exceptions, you don’t do it.
Don’t share pictures and especially nudes because you’ll never ever know who has seen them, saved them and shared them to others. Nobody will ever admit to you about doing either of those things.
Have multiple e-mail addresses for different purposes and from different providers. I have 3 of them going. One is social. One is private/personal. One is just plainly for ban-evading that alternates from time to time or I just use that as a spam dumper or registering to places for other means.
