Here’s what you should do immediately:
-
Document everything — screenshots, dates, links, usernames. Don’t delete evidence.
-
Report the accounts and videos to platforms like YouTube for targeted harassment and doxxing.
-
File a police report — this becomes especially important since your personal safety may be at risk.
-
Contact a cyber harassment organization — groups like Cyber Civil Rights Initiative offer resources and help.
-
Consider a protection order — if you know who they are, this can legally prohibit contact and could help with platform enforcement.
-
Talk to someone you trust — whether that’s legal counsel, a friend, or a therapist, you don’t have to carry the weight of this alone.
