kiwifarms users identified the victim's locations by identifying her hotel from a picture she posted that included a small portion of the bedsheets in the hotel she was hiding in after they intimidated her out of her own home.

in what ridiculous world does that count as "posting your personal details online"?

If you are trying to hide from internet stalkers, why would you publicly post a picture of your hotel? As a society, I feel like we have normalized oversharing to the extent that young people don't have regard for their own personal safety.

In any case, I think this young woman should stay strapped if there are people coming to her house.

Evidently in the ridiculous world we’re currently inhabiting.

That being the case, we should probably do a better job of educating people on just how much signal there is in even innocuous seeming information.
