A quick and easy step by step guide on how to deal with online harassment.
I was going to make a video on this but my face is too puffy from crying my eyes out last night.
If you look at what my former friends said last night, it’s pretty disgusting.
Compare that to my direct interactions with them.
Why not call them out by name? It’s called class. I don’t even call out my harasser by name.
I spent the evening discouraging people to not speak out in my defense. It leads to further problems.
Anyways, here we go.
Step 1. Google your name.
If you’re an anon account, what you need to do is Google your username in various combos with your actual name.
For example:
[username] + Sarah
[username] + home state
[username] + employer
If you can find it, someone else can, too.
Simple stuff.
Step 2. The quickest/easiest way to be identified is using the same username on multiple SoMe platforms.
Everyone is on multiple platforms. If you’re posting pics or list your name, it’ll be found.
An anon shared identities w me using this method. I ignored the info.

Personal safety involves a combo of Google searches. We need to assess what info is publicly available.

Google the important info:
Name
Phone number
Address
Name + address
Phone number + address
Family members
