Instagram Has a Massive Harassment Problem
Bringing this to a top-level comment:<p>People wildly underestimate how dedicated and adept some people are at finding PII given even minute details [1]. The only real way to avoid sharing PII is to stay off the internet entirely.<p>Even then, pandora's box has already been opened. Your PII is available even if you haven't explicitly chosen to share it [2].<p>Once it's out (and spoiler alert, it's out), "stepping away from the computer" is no longer an option. The article describes in detail how it transitions from online to real-life harassment: Swatting, stopping by your personal residence, calling your work, calling your friends and family, etc.<p>Yes, it happens to people of moderate means and very minor celebrity. Yes, you can suffer physical harm or death as a result [3]. Yes, we should also try and solve the swatting problem from the police side as well.<p>1: <a href="https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/4chan-shia-labeouf-secret-location/" rel="nofollow">https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/4chan-shia-labeouf-secret-l...</a><p>2: Equifax<p>3: <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/30/us/kansas-swatting-death-affidavit/index.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/30/us/kansas-swatting-death-affi...</a>
