I received my fifth different picture of her today. I'm sure people in this sub have saw a few more. It really looks like someone spied on a webcam and used a real person photos to spam the fediverse.
They may be somewhere a woman who don't know her image is being abused and that she's becoming a internet meme.
We're not mean about Nicole around here but we should really be mindful. We are making fun of a spammer but how would feel real-life Nicole - Should we name her something? I like Sandra :) (See that's the kind of uncool thing to do to a real like person!), how would feel real-life Nicole or her loved ones if they find this community one day, full of pictures of her and people calling her "their girlfriend".
I love this community but we should be mindful.
this is very 4 Chan-y of you guys. There is no current webcam that's being spied on, all it would take is a couple of recorded video calls which could have taken place years ago.
I doubt the person in the images knows and I would not bet that she'd be happy about it if she were to find out, but you guys sitting around speculating on her wellbeing is fuckin creepy.
I don't pretend to be a cybersecurity expert and I am open to believe it if you say so but did you read my message 'til the end? I never say I think she's in danger or anythink but that we should be careful not be creepy. I don't see how I end up being the creepy one...
why are you talking about this person at all?
Because dozens, if not hundreds, of users receive such messages almost every day? It would be strange not to talk about it and not to be interested in this situation.
I received one. I clocked it for a spammer using a stolen image. I all but forgot about it.
You guys have made a community about this person who's images are being misused. I'm old enough to remember Boxxy. This is eerily similar.
I'm not even subscribed to this community...
yeah ok cool lets just drop it dude
Not a dude, but whatever. And it wasn't me who started calling people creepy.
yes please continue with your musings about the person from the spam messages
