Handle
The account name used to mention or tag someone on one social network.

What “Handle” means
A handle is an address inside one network. The same person or business may hold different handles on different networks, or none on some. A handle typed into a caption only becomes a working mention if that exact account exists where the caption is published. Otherwise it is dead text, or a link to a stranger who happens to hold the name.
The practical defense is a handle sheet: one row per partner, one column per network, kept current by one person. The approver checks each mention against it before release. With Link AI, a person approves a draft before it posts, and a 'Needs review' mark can hold a teammate's draft for that check. See tags and mentions that do not carry over.
