Doxing on Twitter

For any Gender Critical users of twitter, please be aware that an account is doxing women. It looks like they have infiltrated some FB accounts too. Please be safe

Evil bastards

I don't use any social media but poster @SirVixofVixHall has a separate thread about this- she thought her Twitter account might have been hacked.

Thanks Lass, can you link?

You can report up to 5 tweets (and there are plenty to choose from), then you can report the account.

Hacking attempts are constant, so use a strong password and block all widgets and apps in your settings.
Some of your email is visible so make sure you use a throwaway email address.

Thanks Lass

DJ it's obvious from the tweets that this person has been given access to (presumably secret) FB groups

I don't do social media in my real name or with any personal details but even some pseud accounts have been doxed, I think from the FB access

Twitter is really not responding well to this. There's an account which is linking women's Twitter pseudonyms to their real names in an effort to publicly name them as 'TERFS.' It has been reported numerous times by various people, and Twitter has confirmed that the account is in breach of their rules, but hasn't banned it or deleted any of the doxxing tweets. I don't understand why no action has been taken.

Natsku · 03/12/2017 14:50

Just made my security settings a bit tighter but already use twitter as me rather than anonymously so not worried about being doxxed in that sense.

stitchglitched · 03/12/2017 14:55

I deactivated twitter last week. Was 'outed' as somebody I'm not (although they later deleted the tweet) and referred to some kind of terf watch group. It just flaired up my anxiety and I got to the point where I couldn't sleep and kept checking my phone. Just haven't got the stomach for it all at the moment, I admire all those women who are carrying on.

DJBaggySmalls · 03/12/2017 15:23

The account seems to have been deleted.

SirVixofVixHall · 03/12/2017 15:52

I've just seen on Twitter that the account has been disabled, and also that it could be run by someone who has managed to get access to Janice Turner's facebook .

AstraiaLiberty · 03/12/2017 23:52

It's back up again. Confused

I just got an email stating: "Thank you for your recent report. We have reviewed your report carefully and found that there was no violation of the Twitter Rules against abusive behavior"

Doxxing women isn't abusive, apparently.

TheGoalIsToStayOutOfTheHole · 04/12/2017 00:01

Is there a link to the account. Or if putting it on here is too public, can someone PM me it. A bit worried as I tweet GC stuff and am hoping I haven't been 'outed' :S

That douchebag Tris Osbournes obsession with people revealing their own info is looking kind of sinister right now tbh

TheGoalIsToStayOutOfTheHole · 04/12/2017 00:53

Have been sent it now. Thanks. Absolutely shocking that twitter are doing nothing bout it like. Absolutly disgraceful. And people wonder why many of us need to hide behind anonymous accounts to speak about this?

Datun · 04/12/2017 07:35

From what I can gather, they deactivate the account themselves to make people think it’s gone and to stop people looking and reporting it. Then when the heat’s off they reactivate it.

Or, if they do get the account deleted, they just set it up again under a slightly different name.

Because, you know, the determination to attack women is a typical symptom of gender dysphoria apparently.

I’m really struggling to understand how this blatant war on women is being ignored.

bambambini · 04/12/2017 08:22

Anyone message me this teitter account please so i can have a look?

Datun · 04/12/2017 08:33

bamb

mobile.twitter.com/terfdox

It’s gone for the moment.

TimbuktuTimbuktu · 04/12/2017 08:41

Do we know what on Facebook is comprised?

bambambini · 04/12/2017 08:44

Thanks Datun - had seen it mentioned on Twitter but had looked closer

BetsyM00 · 04/12/2017 08:50

It was back up for a while, but with the specific tweets that link a real life name to a twitter handle removed. It's gone again for now but this might be more of the same - I reported a couple of new doxing tweets.

Datun · 04/12/2017 08:58

On another site, I have seen screenshots of actual names of women. Being outed and doxxed.

TimbuktuTimbuktu · 06/12/2017 11:50

The doxers have been doxed themselves by Mayday4women.

One of them identifies as a lion.

JessicaEccles · 06/12/2017 13:23

One of them identifies as a lion

The Cowardly Lion, presumably Grin

MakeMisogynyAHateCrime · 06/12/2017 14:49

Where have the names on the list doing the rounds on Twitter come from? They cite MN, have those PMs been compromised or is that a separate part and the other names are “just” those they could gather from twitter handles?

QuarksandLeptons · 06/12/2017 15:09

For non twitter users... some screen grabs of the guy behind the doxing account.
The second image is him clarifying that he identifies as a lion, while the woman talking to him tries to be very nice and accommodating about it
