Edit: perhaps best to refer to the linked topic [Legal Tools Plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/legal-tools-plugin/87966) and specifically the extended download?

If you install the [Data Explorer official plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/data-explorer-plugin/32566), when you create a query you can search for ‘user\_id’ and get a drop-down of all tables with records like that. Maybe this is a starting point?

I see about 75 tables with user\_id columns, if I read it right. (“userid records” is the arbitrary name I gave this new query.)
