How we found this
Lurk maintains an anonymized, aggregate map of public Instagram follow relationships. To find how two accounts are connected, we intersect the following lists Lurk has mapped for each and keep every account that appears on both. Because Lurk maps a sampleof each account's following — deep for some accounts, shallower for others — the 16 shared accounts shown here are a verified lower bound, not necessarily the full overlap. Only public accounts appear; no login, private data, or individual's activity is exposed.
