#102I don't understand how noise from worthless losers on "social" media translates into a threat to life.
I just shrug and keep doing what I'm doing.
Their hell is their lives. I don't need to get involved.

#103Conspiracy: Muse Group posted some anonymous posts on 4chan, hoping this type of response would result, in order to stop the fork from succeeding.

I would strongly advise against tweeting your home address as some sort of experiment.
Obvious follow-up: do you think it's illegal to tweet your home address plus or minus 5 houses?
Illegal no, bad yes. Also you would probably be partially liable if anything bad happened.

Well, the person says people showed up with knives at their home and physically harmed them.
I'd say this qualifies as a threat to life, and shrugging is unlikely to work in this situation.

Pretty easy if they’re dumb enough to bring their phone with them.
I don't believe that phone based tracking is nearly as easy as people make it out to be. Just because the data exists, doesn't mean it is easy to process. Someone would have to spend tens of hours at least digging through data and unless its a serious crime, its just not worth it.
Once you have the data, it's almost trivial. The data, of course, needs to be acquired through a warrant, which is often really hard to get (which is good) and even then there's a chance it might not exist (logging policies differ a lot), but once you have access to it it's just a matter of running a geofence query and talking to neighbours to get a sense of the criminal's path before the incident so they can identify them in the data. Filtering out everyone who was there 5hrs before and after should be enough to narrow things down to a reasonable level for a human to go through.

#107Am I the only one who would just … walk outside and talk to the 4channers who showed up? Probably offer them a cig and a meme. I’ve been thinking of tweeting my home address, so this is a relevant concern. What do you even do when someone comes to your house, other than listen to them? It could also be true that they did something a lot less friendly, like “bang on the windows and run away laughing.” That would be un…
>It could also be true that they did something a lot less friendly
I mean, they cut the guy in the arm with a knife, on his own yard, haven't you read that? Surely you wouldn't expect anyone to have a friendly attitude after that.

According to that link, they showed up with a butterfly knife and slit his arm.

If it is true, then they were stupid by making themselves a victim by putting too much information online and weren't equipped to handle themselves.
Apropos, Mao did have a saying that is inconveniently true: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun If you cannot defend your person, then you cannot defend your speech.
1. Don't put personal information online.
2. Always be able to physically defend yourself. The police can't be everywhere and can't help you in the 5-45 seconds a situation comes and goes. Knives, OC pepper spray, and/or guns.. or be a defenseless victim/statistic.
3. Stand-up to insecure bullies. Ignore narcissists.

It's pretty simplistic to just call a victim stupid because they didn't hide their whole life in the case that someone in the future might use information to attack them.
It's also absurd to ask a regular person living in a country like Germany to be ready at all times to defend themselves using knives or guns.
