I also feel uncharitable bringing this up, but it appears nobody in the comments has yet considered that this could be GPT-3 generated text. I only noticed this as a possiblity once you pointed out the random bolding. Some of the article items that seem suspect:

- fully random bolding

- long, rambling, not entirely coherent (understandable given the subject matter, of course. however, the author also has a PHD?)

- inconsistent naming, e.g. iBuddy

- broad conclusion that doesn't fully match the content

- a nondescript screenshot which doesn't implicate anybody

- separated into 5 segments ("parts"), although the segments aren't narratively meaningful

- a huge list of accusations (of varying degrees of believably) interwoven as though they were more related textually rather than contextually

I hope it's not GPT-3, and that if this is true the victim gets their due justice, but it's worth consideration.
