There is a Mormon who was getting too showy (plus show-offy) and "tell-it-all" on social media, especially YouTube. Now she and her her family are reported to have received multiple threats, and are living in terror, under police protection, etc. It is said that she trusted strangers and gave them her real address via e-mail. Also had given away way too much personal information on YouTube and Instagram. I had always had a negative feeling about what she was doing, had tried to warn, but it went unheeded.
She was trying to show off what a wonderful life and family she had, attributing it all to the Mormon God, and trying to get people interested in joining the LDS. At the same time she seemed to want to show off a lot of skin to flaunt what a wonderful body she had--very skimpy bikinis and underwear (not always garments). Evidently she has attracted the wrong kind of attention and is getting stalked. With threats and fear for the lives of her whole family.
She is trying to blame this horrible thing on online gossipers who talked about how shocked they were at her behaviors. But some of these had tried to level with her. They aren't violent types.
Do we remember when our "new social space" was new? After a short time of giving too much away, people were getting stalked and sometimes killed. We realized then that there were a lot of wackos out there and we had to be careful with our information and indentities. But a few years later, people forgot and threw all care to the wind with their craze for new social platforms.
Isn't it time to care about privacy again? I will not use my real name or give out where I live to anyone. I am careful not to leave clues and trails for anyone. I wish people would take heed again.
