Ok boomer.

I keep hearing that phrase a lot. What is classified as a boomer nowadays? I always thought it was for the baby boomers born in the 40's and 50's..Wait.... if I have to ask... oh boy. I must be a boomer lol XD

It boggles my mind that people post so much personal information online. Basically everyone from my generation that grew up as the internet was just growing into what it has become today always had it drilled into them to never post identifying information online. People should go back to that.

This information can range from browsing history to payment information. From there they don't have to do a whole lot of digging. Like it or not, everyone's information is out there and is being sold to the highest bidder. Sadly, there's not much anyone can do about that. Such is life in the digital age.

Doxxing is a serious thing tho not a pixel thing

want to hear something funny, just found this out today. A streamer did one of those sleep streams. Someone in there chat paid 10 bucks for tts an said Alexa tell me my location. Alexa could not tell the difference and you already know how that worked

Try closing your eyes. The pixels on the screen can't hurt you.

Did you bother to read the part where he said they are accesing real life information and it has extended beyond the game when you thought of this earth shattering reply?

Take screenshots. Get times and dates. Submit those.

Your friend should take pride in the fact they have such a large grip on that persons life that they are willing to go to such measures for such a long time. If someone did any of the sort to me at halve the tenacity they are...I'd laugh in their face with how pathetic they are acting.

By the sound of things, it has gone well beyond anything SE can really do. If I were the victim, I would still try and file a report with SE, but I would also be going to the local authorities to try and get the ball rolling in an attempt to stop them.

They are not sure how to handle this with the authorities. My friend is in the US while this other person, they are pretty sure, is in the UK.

It is frustrating.

I had an ex show up on my couch, but never a random off the internet; let alone a video game. That must have been terrifying. Hopefully you got that taken care of and ita a long distant nightmare.

But as for you, Dingledorf, I do hope your friend is okay. No one should have to go through that. <3
