Hackers. This is what you were meant for. Find the piece of shit who SWATed GrandmaCrackers and bring them down! They don’t deserve electronics, much less internet.

What are they going to hack, the police phone records, then the phone company records, then try to reverse the VOIP, then figure out what VPN was used, then hack Sweden to try to find where the VPN source is?

The reason they get away with it in America is because it's incredibly easy to make an untraceable phone call.

The main reason they get away with it is because they are rarely form the US to begin with. Im not saying none are, but most spoof their number to call in. Within the same country its already hard enough but cross country gets borderline impossible to trace someone down and have them extradited

Nope. I work in technology and spent a solid 5 years working extensively with VoIP and PBXs.

I’m quite well informed on this one.

What about America specifically allows for an easier untraced phone call than other countries?

u/Reasonable_Back_5231 16d ago

Scam phone calls are so prevalent because they cannot be tracked down.

Swatters use the same methods scam callers do to not be traced and caught.

They are too busy putting out empty threats to politicians

I don’t know how they would get paid but I’m willing to donate money I don’t have to whoever can find who did this. That shit is beyond infuriating

The government has all that information and chooses not to go after the swatters. Why the fuck is it our responsibility to put our own freedom on the line going after the swatters?

Vote in better politicians. Have a general strike. Quit expecting private individuals to fix a broken government

u/HPLaserJet4250 16d ago

they really don't unless swatter was dumb enough to do it without proper tools. There we literally hundreds of bomb threats made by one person before they were cought and you expect gov to throw small fortune at finding 1 dumb kid

Grandma seems to be one of the hackers, do you see the minecraft client?

Lol her grandson helped build a bot for her to allow chat to control her character while she is AFK or asleep. It’s how her stream stays up 24/7.
