PLEASE BE AWARE: PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY ARE STILL AT RISK OF BEING DOXXED
This is a post from an anonymous imageboard called ğolçÜw. This is the information that a single person was able to gather on just ONE person from our community (along w the vague location of another).
Despite what you might believe, THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT GATHERED BY MEANS OF HACKING OR ANY MEANS THAT WERE OUT OF THE CONTROL OF THE PERSON THEY ARE TARGETTING.
What we are doing is ILLEGAL. It is AGAINST THE LAW and whatever we put on public blogs can be sought and used by any person for any reason. Even if that reason is tracking down your real life identity.
I have chosen to censor the urls of the people who this post was targetting, but it is ultimately UP TO YOU to make sure you aren't doxxed in this situation. Whether or not you think shòpÄşifting/fĹiendly fĹaud is a moral issue, it is against the law and there are people who will use the information you CHOOSE to put on your public blogs and use them against you.
I'm not even going to go into the fact that one of the people namedropped here in the post very stupidly posted a selfie on their account and how dangerous that is for them, because that is on THEM, and it ultimately only affects them.
I'm not active in this community anymore but I do still lurk and I do still look out for people who may be in danger of getting doxxed. but just be aware that it is ultimately in your hands to exhibit web safety.
If you don't want this to happen to you, I'd suggest following these tips that I don't see mentioned a lot
REMOVE METADATA from all photos you post. This is a no brainer but a LOT of people don't follow this no matter how much it's posted.
Don't post the names of stores you Äşift from that are extremely specific to the area you live in/near.
Don't overshare on your blog. I know we can feel very comfortable in this community, but there are rats everywhere. Nobody NEEDS to know your personal living situation, when your moving, where to, where you've lived in the past, etc.
Sorry for the super long post, but this is surprisingly a very common issue in this comm nowadays. As someone who's been here since ~2015, it sucks that people STILL don't know the basics of web safety and keeping your identity a secret. It's really not that hard.
