˙ . ꒷ 🪼 . 𖦹˙— Cyber harassment; 04/??

The term "Cyber harassment" describes a type of harassment that occurs online. Cyber harassment causes severe anxiety, severe depression, PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) symptoms, social withdrawal and increases the risks of self harm. Victims often are dismissed because their situation is usually brushed off as "internet drama". /srs

Cyber harassment is considered a crime in several countries, where fines or jail time can be applied to the perpetrators, depending on the country's legislation. /srs

We firmly condemn cyber harassment in any way, shape or form. /srs

If you happen to find any of these blogs or posts, we firmly encourage you to report and block. /srs

Viewer discretion is advised due to the hostility of certain users. /srs

The post on the first screenshot was uploaded on April 21st, 2025. There, you can see the user @/syltheanti willingly engaging one more time in online activities that could be considered harassment. Saying that an entire group of people should "die in a goddamn hole" could be interpreted as wishing harm (which Tumblr can ban if reported under Community Guidelines). Adding to that, it can count as inciting harassment with violent rethoric, since his post can encourage others to attack Pro-Shippers. Besides, complaining about mass reports could be considered hypocritical since Syl himself willingly engages in targeted cyber harassment, like you saw in previous posts. /srs

Proof of @/syltheanti purposely making up false accusations against @proship-froggo with the objective of justifying the targeted cyber harassment towards them down here ⬇️

Proof of @/syltheanti willingly engaging in cyber harassment while defending and supporting people who do that as well, can be found down there ⬇️

The post on the second screenshot was uploaded on April 22nd, 2025. You can see that both Anon and Syl have misunderstood the terms Pro-Shipp, Com-Shipp, and Dark-Shipp. But don't worry, we'll explain it just in case. /srs

Pro-Shipp (🌈🍖 / 🍖🌈) is a stance that supports the creation and enjoyment of all types of shipps involving fictional characters only, including those that might be considered controversial, problematic or taboo. Pro-Shippers believe fiction is separate from reality, and that enjoying problematic content in fiction doesn't necessarily mean endorsing it in real life. Pro-Shippers believe that both creators and fans should have the freedom to explore any type of relationship in fiction without censorship or judgement. Pro-Shippers often advocate for content warnings and tags to help others avoid content they might find triggering. /gen

Com-Shipp (🌸🌛 / 🌛🌸), short for "Complicated Shipping", refers to exploring or enjoying shipps that involve complex, messy, or morally ambiguous fictional characters. These relationships often have layers of conflict, tension or emotional depth. Com-Shippers are drawn to fictional relationships that aren't purely wholesome or healthy, but aren't toxic and abusive either. Com-Shippers like to explore themes like power imbalance, unresolved tension or emotional turmoil, something present in enemies to lovers fictional shipps, by example. Com-Shippers may acknowledge the problematic aspects of a shipp but still finding it interesting or meaningful. /gen

Dark-Shipp (🎱🎀 / 🎀🎱) is about shipping fictional characters in relationships that are explicitly dark, disturbing or taboo. These shipps often involve themes like abuse or manipulation. Dark-shippers are usually drawn to the exploration of dark or taboo themes in fiction, often for the sake of storytelling, emotional intensity, catharsis or shock value. Dark-shipps aren't meant to be normalized or romanticized but are instead explored as part of the story's darker elements (canon or fan made). Besides, most Dark-shippers don't endorse real life behavior, and they often emphasize the importance of content warnings and ethical storytelling when dealing with sensitive topics. /gen

Com-Shipp does exist. Maybe Syl just doesn't like the term "Com-Shipp", but that doesn't mean the term doesn't exist or shouldn't exist. For example, we don't like some things created on the internet, but that doesn't mean those things don't exist. Because the world doesn't revolve around anyone. /gen

And we just showed you that Pro-Shipp ≠ Dark-shipp. Not all Pro-Shippers are Dark-shippers. In fact, some Pro-Shippers are just Com-Shippers. /gen

Also, calling an entire online group of people "nasty fucks" is dehumanizing language meant to incite disdain or violence. /gen

The comment on the third screenshot was made on April 22nd, 2025. The user @/silly4goose20 appears once again. Let's remember it's not the first time she appears in those screenshots willingly engaging in cyber felonies. /srs

Proof that @/silly4goose20 has encouraged several people to commit suicide can be found here ⬇️

Telling people to get help or "take the trash out themselves"... Is this what we think it is? Another phrase similar to "you should get help but if you don't then you should kill yourself"? /srs.

Curiously, on the post on the fourth screenshot, you can see the hypocrisy of this individual. The post was originally uploaded on April 22nd, 2025. It seems like that, for @/silly4goose20 , inciting suicide online is okay, but she shouldn't receive a similar treatment. If she really was this worried about "people getting help" she would condemn suicide incitement in any way, shape or form. We hope her hypocrisy talks by itself. Even if the suicide incitement was unsuccessful (in the best case scenario), she still has blood in her hands and is acting no better than a real life abuser. /srs

The post on the fifth screenshot was originally uploaded on April 23rd, 2025. Well, this post (or reblog, better said) is less harmful than the other ones we've seen, but it can still count as mild cyber harassment. Comparing a group of people to literal trash is dehumanizing, and intended to degrade and insult. The post can serve as a public signal to @/sho-can-g 's online circle that mockery towards Pro-Shippers is acceptable. /srs

The post on the sixth screenshot was originally uploaded on April 13th, 2025. The user @/chubbibunni is not as active as the other users when it comes to shipping discourse, but her online behavior can be equally violent sometimes. There are several things wrong within this screenshot. /srs

The user @/smacksalad made a post saying that vent art / therapeutic art from survivors should be kept in private. As survivors of CSA and extreme physical abuse, we disagree with that statement. The Jellyfish system thinks survivors should be able to upload their vent or therapeutic art to online spaces, as long as they add the proper tags, as long as it's their own decision, and as long as they aren't willingly exposing vulnerable audiences to heavy and traumatizing topics. /gen

Survivors deserve to speak up and express themselves about the things they survived without being pressured to "be silent" or "backpedal". Many survivors (SA survivors, CSA survivors, physical abuse survivors, emotional abuse survivors, abandonment survivors, neglect survivors, and so on), are forced to stay quiet and silent by their own abusers or by the environment that enables their abusers, and this can go on for years or even decades. With this in mind, telling survivors to just "keep it to themselves" is not only disrespectful, but deeply unfair. Don't silence or censor survivors' voices and art. Yeah, some vent or therapeutic art can be deeply disturbing, but the best option is to block people who make that art, instead of urging them to "keep it private". /gen

The rage we feel every time we see someone saying "CP" instead of CSAM/CSEM is unreal omg (`皿´＃) /gen /neg

To keep it short (and family friendly), if you want to support survivors, especially CSA survivors, use the correct terms. Using the term "CP" downplays and undermines the physical, psychological, and moral long-term damage survivors go through. Terms like CSAM and CSEM help remind people that it isn't a type of "porn genre", or "18+ entertainment". It's sexual violence against minors. Survivors deserve that clarity and acknowledgment. /gen

Purposely comparing vent art or therapeutic art from CSA victims/survivors and actual CSAM/CSEM is beyond fucked up. Let us do a quick explanation: /srs

Vent art / Therapeutic art about CSA

Made in a consensual and safe space. /srs

The minor has control over what happens and what doesn't happen. /srs

The main purpose is trauma processing and healing. /srs

The adult (in this case, the therapist) can guide the minor in their healing journey to achieve a better mental and physical well being. /srs

Usually consists of drawings, poems, or just phrases. /srs

CSAM/CSEM

Made in a non consensual and exploitative space. /srs

The minor has no control over the circumstances. Their autonomy and dignity are violated. /srs

The main purpose is preying on vulnerable minors and catering to pedophiles, child predator rings, or human trafficking groups. /srs

The adult (in this case, the perpetrator) often commits another type of sexual violence against the minor, provoking further physical and psychological harm.

The vast majority of times contains images or videos of real life minors being actively harmed. /srs

While the post from @/chubbibunni isn't directed to one specific user, it still can count as cyber harassment. Equating therapeutic art with literal CSAM/CSEM is not only a false comparison, but a deeply harmful one. Falsely accusing CSA/SA survivors of being child abuse perpetrators can be considered defamatory, therefore, this online behavior can be considered cyber harassment. Adding to that, this incident is not an isolated one, but a pattern of ignorant and hostile online behavior. /srs

As we enter back into an era where technology is used primarily as a weapon against you by the United States and Russian governments, (welcome back 1980s! 😍) let’s go over some tips to consider if you are a queer, bipoc, or otherwise an “enemy from within” as trump so lovingly and hypocritically put it, to protecting your identity and privacy through the internet so that you can continue to resist this cultural shift safely and resiliently!

• stop posting identifying information on social media like your full name, place of residence, and pictures of yourself or other at risk people, and go back and delete posts in which you might’ve already.

• disable location tracking services and camera and mic access to apps, services, or websites that you know to be compromised by the influence of shady overseers, such as X, Instagram, Facebook, Google, and TikTok. I know it’s convenient to use these but it’s a MAJOR security hazard.

• Turn your phone COMPLETELY off when discussing sensitive subjects with friends or when you are making plans of resistance and gathering your communities, or when you are discussing personal feelings on such subjects with family, friends, or a doctor/therapist. Basically all mobile phones now have live mics that are constantly listening to you.

• Create a new email under a fake name if you haven’t already to use as your primary email address, in order to further protect your true identity.

• use an alternative browser like DuckDuckGo or brave in place of google, preferably with a VPN on top of it to even further secure your browsing history and to bypass potential IP blocks of websites from the government.

• if you want to watch YouTube and don’t want a recording of your watch history, log out of your account and watch that way, preferably you would just delete your account entirely but I understand why some might not want to.

• pirate content from streaming services via piracy websites, again so that your watch history can’t be used to make assumptions about you if that data were ever sold to the government.

These are obviously just some of the ways to bypass data collection and ti protect your real identity online, but there are many others I’m sure I’m not aware of. Please add to this if you can, and stay safe out there, because anything you say can and will be used against you in the future of this country. But: We have survived this kind of shit before, we can again, if we are careful. Loose lips sink ships, and that goes for the internet as well.

Be Careful Putting Your Phone Down At Panera Bread Locations

I noticed my phone buzzing repeatedly when I'd have it open on the table at Panera, and on further review I realized that my phone was repeatedly scanning an NFC tag on the underside of the table. I'm assuming the servers use these as a shorthand way of confirming that food has been delivered to the correct table.

This is all well and good; this is a prime use case for NFC tags, and using an NFC reader app I was able to see that they're just basic numeric codes. As long as the tags aren't rewritable by anyone, they're not a security risk.

The NFC tags at Panera Bread are rewritable. Like, easily. Using a simple app you can get from the Google Play Store.

What this means is that someone can rewrite the NFC tags to redirect to a download link for malware, or a phishing website, or any number of other attack vectors.

I have more information about this issue on my personal website, as well as a video demonstrating the effect. My recommendation is to keep NFC turned off on your phone unless and until you're actively using it (for touchless payments, bus tickets, etc.).

An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stop Elon Musk from stealing our personal information!

6,399 so far! Help us get to 10,000 signers!

I am writing to urge you to stop Elon Musk from stealing our personal information.

It appears Musk has hacked into millions of Americans’ personal information and now has access to their taxes, Social Security, student debt and financial aid filings. Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency was not created by Congress—it is operating with zero transparency and in clear violation of federal law.

This violation of our privacy is causing American families across the country to fear for our privacy, safety and dignity. If this goes unchecked, Musk could steal our private data to help in making cuts to vital government programs that our families depend on—and to make it easier to cut taxes for himself and other billionaires.

We must have guardrails to stop this unlawful invasion of privacy.

Congress and the Trump administration must stop Elon Musk from stealing Americans' tax and other private data.

I'm all for security/cybersecurity, but the uni requesting a phone call with the entire main cybersecurity team and possibly needing me to come in person for another meeting to just change my phone number is fucking ridiculous.

Also, I put in the ticket for this to happen (after an IT team member had to do it for me because that system wasn't working on the regular user end of it) weeks ago and have been waiting for a reply, only for them to start that reply with 'do you still need help with this issue? We haven't heard from you'

only to then admit that yes, they knew they hadn't actually sent me anything about the ticket yet UNTIL THIS FUCKING EMAIL and that they hadn't 'had time' to read up on the actual issue on the ticket.

The IT guy that put the ticket in assured me they would just get it changed with probably nothing more than a confirmation email or me letting them know if I get a code they text to me to confirm the number is correct, bc that's usually how they do it. Don't love that suddenly I need at least one call and potentially an in person meeting just for this. What the fuck are they going to require when I bring them my name change certificate and updated docs?

i’m replying to this on my personal blog because i do not want to address this on the cloutchase blog. normally, we would delete an ask like this, but it bothers me too much personally.

it sounds like your brother is subscribed to “dead internet theory” which is a fringe conspiracy theory and total doomer talk. it basically proposes that the internet "died" in 2016/2017, and is or will be only made of bots that are generating content for other bots to engage with eternally, and that bot content makes up a majority of the internet in order to manipulate people. it is hyperbolic, using language like "everything online is generated by a bot and you are alone."

idk where he got the idea that it started with discord users, and we aren’t just going to take this information as fact for the sake of making content for our silly website gijinkas. it would be incredibly depressing and irresponsible of us to spread potentially dangerous conspiracy information like this, even if we somehow twisted it into the form of a joke (which we can't). cloutchase is moreso a celebration of the unique environment of the internet. (REMINDER: these are just funny ocs, and while there are serious conversations to be had surrounding actual problems with these sites, cloutchase is NOT the space to be doing so. read the FAQ.)

people believe in this theory because it “feels” true, the internet now feels fake and algorithmically produced and that nobody here is a real person. that’s why many people have nostalgia for “old internet,” where we remember a time where everything was seemingly user run.

but really the main difference between old internet and new internet is commercialization. inevitably, websites grew into businesses and businesses must generate profit. algorithms, advertisements, and ai are much more prominent than ever, flagging algorithms with human bias censor actual people, and so on. seeing and experiencing these things makes it kinda feel like nothing matters or whatever.

what’s actually important to YOUR experience online is asking this: is the majority of content you engage with generated by bots? no!!! you make it your own! the internet is massive, but we still find each other!!! there are REAL people behind this project and receiving your messages. we read everything, you know. WE aren't bots.

bots have always been around the internet, it isn’t a new thing. sure, we didn’t have sophisticated ai generation back then, but spam bots have always existed. malware spread through bots, some ARE bots. in some far off circles of the internet now, there are content farms and viewbotting, but here we are, meeting on this tumblr blog.

the internet will only die when its users decide to stop using it. is this not unlike the y2k scare?
