Just got a DM from a nicole account recently and it seems they’ve stepped up their game and are now using only images, no text, to prevent from being detected by automated systems, or having their links censored via the slur regex.

    I just got one as well. There needs to be a limit on the number of users you can dm and account age. Maybe we can get their ip location and turn them into their local authorities or sue them?

      Willing to bet many of them are using VPNs or Tor. I’ve used IP graabbers in the past on people like this and very often get usually datacenter IPs. Might be good to catch some of them but probably isn’t going to be as useful as people think it will be.
