What are the scariest real life social media horror stories you've heard?

In a real - life social media horror story, a young man shared his travel experiences on a popular platform. An obsessed follower started stalking him in real life. The stalker showed up at the places he visited based on the details he shared, which was really terrifying for the young man.

One real - life story is of my friend Tom. He used to be addicted to Instagram. He would spend hours scrolling through feeds, liking pictures, and comparing his life to others. It affected his real - life relationships as he was always on his phone during social gatherings. Eventually, he realized he was missing out on real experiences and started to limit his usage.

One danger is cyberbullying. For example, a girl I knew shared her art on social media. Instead of getting positive feedback, some users left mean comments about her work and appearance. This led to her losing confidence and she even stopped creating art for a while. Social media can be a platform where some people feel free to be cruel without facing immediate consequences.
