The police are involved and all three have locked their accounts.

I hope their agents will take note.

Feeble deflection efforts. Marion Millar is a different person to JK Rowling, as well as all the other stuff that has been said. The police officer was involved in the case, hardly "doxxing" someone to give their name and link to their public social media.

I think the point I was trying to make was that if someone was intent to finding her address of her home. They would be able to before being exposed on Twitter.

I didn’t say it was right and I personally don’t agreed that the local should make a story every time she cuts her hedge

ArabellaScott · 22/11/2021 14:02

JKR classy as ever. Hope the police take this further. You can't post pics of a woman's address on Twitter and picket outside someone's family home. Do they have no empathy, imagination or intelligence at all?

nauticant · 22/11/2021 14:05

The problem with that argument Hoosemover is that if a woman suffering harassment and/or abuse is unable to keep a tight lid on her personal information, then if some people know it, then there should be no restrictions on everyone knowing it. Including those attacking her.

The only way for such a woman to be safe from the spread of her personal information would be for her to withdraw completely from public life and moving into a witness protection sort of life.

What utter cowards to delete their accounts. I appreciate JKR so much for standing her ground on this. Hope she is okay.

SpindlesWhorl · 22/11/2021 14:18

I wondered when JKR would act, and what she would do. It's absolutely wonderful (and in character) that she's acting to stand up for all the women who don't have her resources to deal with the intimidation and threats.

I imagine it is costing her a fair whack to have her lawyers deal with this, including having the photograph removed from the internet, dealing with Google, Twitter, Police Scotland, etc.

The three amigos should be seriously pondering about the costs involved arising from their actions IMHO.

ItsSnowJokes · 22/11/2021 14:21

How anyone can condone this behaviour is beyond me.

JK as always, has been classy in her defence, spoken eloquently and I really hope something happens to the 3 who have done this. Cowards for deleting their accounts so quickly.

HoardingSamphireSaurus · 22/11/2021 14:22

Given that she has asked anyone who shared the picture, no matter what their motives, to remove it is quite telling too!

I'm sure if someone was determined enough they could figure out my real name and address, that would be annoying and intrusive. If they then published (on the internet) my real name and address along side my anonymous MN / twitter accounts that would be doxxing. If the person doing the digging and publishing of info was doing it to harass or upset me that would be illegal.

AnyFucker · 22/11/2021 14:26

I can’t actually put into words how great I think JKR is. Measured, intelligent, informed.

I want to be like her when I grow up.

RepentMotherfucker · 22/11/2021 14:27

Like Queen Jo I am just throwing this out there but I wonder - if you are really determined to cyber bully someone - going for the richest woman in the UK, who could easily use her lawyers to fold you like the proverbial deckchair, is the most intelligent option? Hmm

She's a woman who has an opinion so clearly she's fair game Hmm

In all seriousness, I think they are largely so convinced of their own righteousness that they will be genuinely shocked to learn that they are in trouble for this. And any trouble they do get in (hopefully via the police) will be all down to transphobia and play into their idea of victimhood.

I love how they think her self-made wealth (which she gives away to charity at an astonishing rate) means she's a legitimate target. Or some such nonsense.

@FreeBritnee

Ah I get you. Sorry when she said ‘actors’ I think I assumed well known actors. Obviously those individuals would be more like ‘performers’ or ‘entertainers’. She was being very polite.
Drag Acts. In two cases anyway

@A580Hojas

So glad the police are involved. I'd like to see this on the national news but somehow I know it won't be.
Police involvement against TRAs and their allies who threaten death, rape, violence, abuse, intimidate, harass, doxxing against women and do so verbally, in writing and in public is LONG OVERDUE.

Reading the proposals for VAWG to be treated akin to terrorism by the Police, those TRAs and their allies who participate in the behaviour perpetrated against JKR and many, many other women should find themselves viewed the same way potential terrorists are by the Police.

It's high time TRAs and their allies were called to account and held responsible for their bullying and intimidation.

SpindlesWhorl · 22/11/2021 14:34

@HelplesslyHoping

It's funny she mentioned Marion Millar considering she doxxed David Paisley. Maybe after this she should just stop stirring the pot and making herself look silly.

And her address is apparently very clear on wikipedia, so it's not like it wasn't public knowledge.

Who is David Paisley?

Hopefully Penis News will have a nice letter from JKR's lawyer on their editor's desk very shortly.

Look silly?

How's that then?

I see that the mail are reporting in this now too. More sunlight.

I'll be banned if I post what I really think of this utter nonsense.

DialSquare · 22/11/2021 14:37

JKR isn't the one making herself look silly.

DP is a well known actor in Scotland, very talented. Also a gay man who has selflessly taken on the role of making sure that every woman in Scotland understands the importance of Right Think and Be Kind and Shut Up.

He manages this despite his crippling fear of ribbons. A true hero.
