@sweetmercury. I just used that anonymous thing to post about my fundraising efforts to raise money for the Leukemia Society; to help my daughter raise a million bucks (I'm a leukemia/stem cell transplant survivor). I'm just not quite sure that Twitter knew that is what the account is - the whole anonymous posting thingy. My point is that if they remove that account (which 750 people follow) Ariel's problem is solved. Also, and I'm not accusing, just sayin', who is to say that Ariel didn't make all of this up to bash Twitter and promote Pownce (which is where she works). It's possible. Personally, I hope Twitter does remove the profile as it truly (and non-lawyer needing) does violate the TOS. – debutaunt, on May 23, 2008 03:10

lol @ sweetmercury. How many times do I have to post that the harassment is coming from an anonymous profile? Anyone can post. Remove that fake profile and the problem is solved (at least for now) – debutaunt, on May 23, 2008 02:50

I think the account exists for people to have fun and post stupid stuff anonymously. Sadly, she has been the target, but is there a way to track the IP of the comments directed at her? Not sure. But this story has more legs that it should have. Here is what I am talking about: crownvic: Re: Ariel Waldman. Abuser using http://kosso.co.uk/twitter/confess/ anonymous posting service run by a jon kossmann. – debutaunt, on May 23, 2008 02:39

Exactly. I honestly don't think she has, but that profile allows for anyone to post anything. – debutaunt, on May 23, 2008 02:31

reposting from below to reply: Ok. I see that the cunt comments and all the other lame stuff come through an anonymous Twitter account that anyone can post to or access. Why does that profile even exist? Why doesn't Twitter remove that profile? (http://kosso.co.uk/twitter/confess/) It violates #8 - no spam & also violates #4 under general conditions (um. obscene, offensive?) You don't need an attorney to see that the posting profile (http://twitter.com/confession) violates many many Twitter TOS. Um. Simple solution - remove the profile that the anonymous posting directs to. This is really stupid, btw. Love you Twitter, but don't be a chickensh*t. Just pull that confession profile. You don't need no stinkin' lawyers to pull the trigger on that one. – debutaunt, on May 23, 2008 02:14

Btw, how does *anyone* aside from the Twitter employees know that Ariel didn't just fake this whole thing to attract attention to her or her blog? Her blog is a little more racy and NSFW, so why not up her hits? Twitter knows who this person is via IP address (it was easy enough for me to find the profile) and based on their TOS, the profile could have been deleted solely for the many spam tweets (e.g. free ringtones, pharma ads, etc) I'm not like out to get Ariel or anything and I've had my own stalker or ten in my internet life, but it would be easy enough to fakeastalker. I don't always believe the hype. Besides, the profile has 750 people following it. I am a newb and recognized a few names. What does that say about the community if they are following such lame and disgusting tweets? I hate e-stalking. But if you give a story/stalker attention, they love it. I would have just kept after Twitter, but not been so public about it. But that's just my style - I don't feed trolls anymore. P.S. As far as an employer googling her name and finding the rants, um, have you all *seen* her blog. It's pretty um... sexual? I am not a prude, but an employer can see that the rants are stupid and harassing, but what will they think about her blog?

Ah. I only mentioned it b/c Ariel replied back to that comment – debutaunt, on May 23, 2008 01:17

I found @ev 's response to this in a tweet was interesting.

A comment on the problem "Twitter refuses to uphold Terms of Service" in Twitter:

To clarify - Using her name in connection with the derogatory comments is not ok. It's a Google bomb. I've been called cuntzilla, bitch, slut, fat whore, etc, but it wasn't in connection with my name (besides which, I don't advertise my full name anywhere). The profile should be banned solely on the fact that it is totally spam. – debutaunt, on May 22, 2008 22:35

A comment on the problem "Twitter refuses to uphold Terms of Service" in Twitter:

Jason, why don't you ban that account because the majority of it is spam tweets. I thought spam would get you banned anyway??

Oh, and, the profile has 750 followers. Guess someone is interested in what he has to say? (it's all lame!) – debutaunt, on May 22, 2008 22:33

A comment on the problem "Twitter refuses to uphold Terms of Service" in Twitter:

Honestly, I believe they could (& should) ban the harrasser b/c his profile is primarily spam tweets, and then a few comments about Ariel. – debutaunt, on May 22, 2008 22:13

Honestly, the name calling... meh, but using her full name online, posting her email, etc etc.

Besides, Twitter employee dude, did you *see* the harassing profile? It's mostly spam. Get rid of it. And for the 753 people following the dude, unfollow if you are all twisted panties about it.
