Tackling #harassment and #stalking, both online and offline, is going to be a huge endeavior. The new laws introduced in some countries, like Switzerland, that make these behaviors illegal are a step in the right direction, but the aim isn't to fill jails with #harassers and #stalkers. The aim is to really help educate everyone from 1 to 100 years old about the stakes at play here and how to establish group rules that make it much more difficults for these behaviors to emerge in the first place.
And by strong response, I don't mean some kind of manhunt against #stalkers or #harassers. That could momentarily feel satisfying, but on a larger ethical and social scale, it is just throwing the table upside down and turning perpetrators into victims. What must be targetted is the behavior of #harrassing and #stalking and the circumstances that trigger them and make them possible. We should learn all to recognize the cues that can signal them and act as a group to cut the issue at its roots.
(11/N) A fourth category of adversaries:
Intruders
#Intruders want to ignore your #boundaries at will, and their related actions to be unrestricted and without repercussions, for as long as possible. Additionally, satisfaction might be derived from any ineffective responses to their actions.
Controlling your assets at will, and having unrestricted access to them is their goal. Some are fantasizing about a relationship with you that would somehow entitle them to it. Sometimes, their actions include damaging, or destruction of, your assets, to inflict suffering upon you, or for revenge, or to gain notoriety.
This is a wide category that includes attention-getters; #narcissists and #stalkers; abusive, vengeful and jealous people; starstruck individuals seeking #parasocial interaction; thrill seekers; script kiddies; "OSINT" wannabees; swatters; vandals; and sometimes even potential employers.

#Bumble and #Hinge allowed #stalkers to pinpoint users’ #locations down to 2m.
Analyzed 15 popular #dating #apps, #Badoo, Bumble, #Grindr, #happn, Hinge and #Hily all had same #vulnerability that a malicious user identify near-exact #location of another user, according to researchers.
To pinpoint exact location of user, researchers used a novel technique they call “oracle trilateration.” This creates three circles, which intersect at the point where the target is located.

Vance stalking Harris reminds me of something but I can't quite put my finger on it. #Creepy #Stalkers #misogynists (Way to win back the #WomanVote from Harris, Guys!)

Shopping online for a 1-person tent... WTF?!
"Violent Nomad"... I'll pass.
Plus an all black tent is stupid! Dark & hot inside...
Aside: As a reasonably successful musician I’ve had a lot of ‘interesting’ mails and phone calls over the years. Sometimes it was funny (“I am in Pearl Jam and my mother will get you a green card”).
But other times “I am outside your house now I can see you in the window”. I should write these up one day. #stalkers #crazy #music
"Being STALKED or followed by someone and feeling like prey is a horrible feeling. Sometimes, men don't understand it. Smaller or shorter men get a taste of it. It's a primitive thing, to feel like a target."

Reminder... The solar eclipse is just 2 weeks away. Masses of people, normally safe at home during darkness, will be gathered to watch the moon block the sun's light – a 3-minute bonus-round smorgasbord for creatures of the night!

FBI hung up on me twice. Because they are busy driving pedo trucks like this.
