Something that everyone should stay aware of (1 Viewer)

And this is not targeted towards any user in particular, just a reminder especially that you should take care of yourself, be careful about what you say. I promise you that divulging that personal information or that selfie is NOT worth being potentially doxxed and putting you in danger in general.



Our admin also has a thread talking about this so give it a read too~

I know about this - college lectured me on it for 2 hours XP

thanks for the reminder tho

I am trying to be careful - im not a toxic fan. I'm quite flexible with groups - altho i can be a bit judgy (like i was with STAYC at first - but that was because of other people's opinions on them) - but yeah i do try to not just get angry and say stuff that I'm gunna regret incase it comes back to haunt me. Basically, I'm trying to be more lenient.

As someone who has had multiple google docs written about them (which contained false and exaggerated information btw), it is quite serious. You don't know what someone can use against you and that it can be twisted from original context, so please be careful

nothing posted on the internet will ever we removed from it. no matter what, someone will have shared it, screenshoted it, or anything else. so be mindful, and if you are gonna troll or be offensive- at least mask your real life and personal details so it isn't as easy to trace back to you

Yeah. various summer job orientations warned us to clean up our socials.

agreed, this is very important like the more information you put out there the more opportunities there are to connect your online identity. i don't blame it on these people since most of them are teenagers who aren't probably fully aware that what they do on the internet can be setback for their future but better safe than sorry. most people won't care that you said you don't like a bts or blackpink song but if you told someone to kill themselves while having a whole carrd telling your full name, location, listing all your triggers and what school you go to then it's likely to not end very well.

Honestly though, I just recently had some information doxxed from an angry fangirl on a discord and I rarely share any personal details about who I know personally, let alone personal locations or anything on socials, I just post selfies, my journalist work and art on socials, Please PLEASE be careful. I am a content creator and I have had some craziness even though I keep my personal information private and protected. I cannot imagine what happens to those who share everything.

Edit": Also I see no point in being toxic and abusive, if you were to look at my stuff I do not waste time on that. But for those who do I am just trying to point out, if someone who does not cause drama or get toxic, can be doxxed for no reason, so can you if someone decides they do not like you for whatever reason....

I don’t use my real identity so I don’t mind
