femfreq:

We highly encourage folks who are coming forward about abusive people in the games industry to preemptively protect your online data.
Privacy Duck (https://www.privacyduck.com/) and Abine’s (https://www.abine.com/) Delete Me are two pay services that help scrub your personal information from people finder sites.
Our safety guide at Feminist Frequency is a little out of date in parts (we’re working on that) but still has loads of good information especially around how your friends can help you during difficult times online (available in English, Spanish, and Arabic): https://onlinesafety.feministfrequency.com/en/
We also spoke with Susan Wismar, a sexual violence prevention specialist and in our talk discussed good tips on what to do with when witnessing harassment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KccqKhH0jjU
Crash Override’s C.O.A.C.H walks you step by step on protecting yourself online: http://crashoverridenetwork.com/coach.html
PEN America has great resources in their Online Harassment Field Manual, including support for witnesses and bystanders: https://pen.org/online-harassment/
If you work for a company, recommend that they sign up for Tall Poppy to safeguard all their employees. It’s honestly one of the best automated, self help, online systems I’ve seen so far: https://tallpoppy.com/
We also have an episode on how to stay safe online with the founder of Tall Poppy, find those tips here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MfPfaA1zAI
And while it isn’t there yet, the Games and Online Harassment Hotline (https://gameshotline.org) is currently building a streamlined, human centered, automated way to help folks feel safer online.
