The one posting may not be the legitimate owner of the account?
1 comments

Regardless of legitimacy of ownership, the person who posted or controlled the bot who posted had possession of the account at the timestamp stated.
To my thinking, “your” implies legitimacy of possession.
"Legitimacy" of possession at a specific moment in time is a lot to read into the comment. Simple possession is sufficient, as it attributes the actions of the actor at that specific moment to the possessor, legitimate or otherwise.
That may make sense to you, but it does not logically follow to my reasoning. It’s a logical leap and a bridge too far.
