Not necessarily. You could probably catch 90% of people just by using some simple matching. The top social media sites have a pretty distinctive layout you could match on; and you can diff screenshots to catch people who are constantly AFK.

It's not going to catch someone who has put some thought into how to circumvent these, but it's enough to catch a lot of the non-HN people.
