this is why women generally don’t post pictures to the Internet without a lot of thought behind it

I know someone who was doxxed because the pattern on bedsheets that were visible in the picture uniquely identified her hotel. The picture only had a tightly-cropped cat sitting on generic white linen.

I know a person who made a comment on Twitter about “I need a new pair of boots” three years ago. From that, her stalkers correctly inferred what city she lived in based on historical snowfall data, and were then able to use other context to get her fired from her job.



Presumably this person got themselves fired for stuff they said online.


Or by owning an Onlyfans account.
