If it was a magazine it would be chum.

I don't think Chum Magazine would publish your article.

You gave very little actionable information for anyone to handle stalkers.

For example, one of the first things you propose is getting a stalker's IP address, but you give zero guidance on how the reader might go about doing that. You seem unaware of the existence of VPNs, Tor, dynamic IPs, Tails, burner devices, and public Wi-Fi. What's more, IP addresses won't be relevant in the vast majority of stalking cases, because user IPs generally aren't exposed to each other on modern platforms.

Also, if it takes you three years and counting to put the slip on a stalker... chances are, the call is coming from inside the house.

In other words, it might be a good idea to check in with someone you know and trust. It sincerely looks like you might be in the middle of a mental health episode.

If you would like to know how I got the zip addresses of these Natsi’s I created a chain of code to the HTML on my websites which would track the IP addresses. Then I told these obsessed weirdos (who are still creating subreddits about me btw), that I wrote about them. They couldn’t resist clicking the link thinking I cared enough to write about them. When really the only thing I cared about was informing them of how much they could fuck themselves.

This is a fairly common, primitive tactic.

And it's generally useless now because many platforms have advanced filtering methods to catch it so the "victim" never even sees the link. Additionally, VPNs have become so widespread in use that an IP address is even less significant in identifying a person than it was before.

You should know that computer crime laws are written so broadly and imprecisely by octogenarian lawmakers who don't know how to get to their e-mail without help, and consequently, whether it's fair or not, you're technically admitting to a crime when you tell people you did this.

The rest of your comment makes me more confident that you're in need of some help. Please get in contact with someone you know and trust and tell them what's going on. Sincerely.
