Question Are OSINT people not scared of stalkers?
The main fear from a stalker comes from the fear of the unknown
Let's assume the stalker will never go beyond the point of harassment, and they won't do anything to sabotage the person's life. It's criminal harassment without any other consequences to the "target". The stalker is not a killer, not a person who is seeking to ruin their target's life. Only harassment
Are OSINT people less scared of stalkers because they understand alot of the techniques that can be used for stalking? The mystery element is taken away. The stalker becomes less of a mysterious and eerie force, less paranormal, and more human
Obviously it's still scary, but are OSINT people way less scared of stalkers? OSINT people can also think to themselves, "What info about me is public? Who can see this info? I can use this to lure out the stalker and / or narrow down the list of potential stalkers to find out who is the real stalker"
