Doxxing Response Playbook

Doxxing is when someone posts your private details, such as your real name or your home address, so that strangers can find you. The playbook is a checklist for the hours and days after it happens. It lives on the Safety tab, under My real name or address got out.

Open it

1. Open your dashboard and tap Safety.
2. Tap My real name or address got out, then Open.
3. Read the list of steps and press Start the playbook.

The steps open one at a time. Each has a Mark done button, and the top of the page counts how many are left.

The steps

1. Hide for now. One press turns on Lockdown: every page you own answers only you, and search engines stop listing them. Reopen them from Safety when you are ready.
2. Save what you saw. Paste the link and write what it showed. Each row is stamped with the time. Only you can see the list. Delete everything removes it all, after asking once.
3. Report it where it was posted. A link to the report form of each platform that has one. Only platforms whose form a session has opened are listed, and each address is checked every day.
4. Ask Google to take it down. Google's Results about you removes your address, phone and email from search results, and since February 2026 ID numbers too. Two more forms cover other private details and explicit pictures.
5. Get your address off people-search sites. These sites sell home addresses for under a dollar a record. The step opens Address Removal, the board of those sites with each opt-out form and a status you tap along.
6. Tell your second seat. Shown only when your page has a second seat. One email asks them to check in and says nothing else.
7. Lock your accounts. A tick list: your TheyRave password, each platform you sell on, your email, and two-step sign-in everywhere.
8. Notes for the police and your landlord. Two notes with your stage name filled in and nothing from your saved list. Copy, fill in the blanks, and hand them over.

The reminder

While the playbook is open, one email a day says how many steps are left. It never names a platform, a link or a step. Close the playbook stops the emails and keeps your saved list, and you can open it again any time.

Where this comes from

• In the Free Speech Coalition's 2023 survey of more than 600 adult industry workers, 63 percent had lost a bank account or a financial service: the FDIC filing.
• People-search brokers sell profiles with home addresses for under a dollar a record: Lawfare, October 2023.
• A stalker found a Japanese pop idol's home from a train station reflected in her eyes in her selfies: South China Morning Post.
• Google's Results about you removes addresses, phones, emails and, since February 2026, ID numbers: TechCrunch.

None of this is legal advice.
