Inspect what the pixels reveal, remove unneeded location metadata, and verify the exact recipient and access route before sending a purpose-made copy.

Respond to persistent harassment by disengaging, using channel-specific controls, preserving a minimal private record, filing a precise report, checking account integrity, and tracking the outcome.
