I'm dealing with a situation where someone is threatening me online. I blocked their account, but they keep creating new ones and continue to comment on my posts, making threats and claiming they have personal information about me. I'm not sure what my next steps should be. Can anyone offer advice on how to handle this?

I’m curious, what platform is this happening on? That's crucial to know since each site has its own way of handling harassment.
It sounds really stressful! Unfortunately, blocking accounts won't stop someone determined to harass you. If this is happening on a specific platform, definitely report the accounts and messages to the management so they can take action. If things escalate, consider reaching out to the police and filing a report—it can help to have a formal record of the threats.
Honestly, a lot of these internet trolls are just looking for attention. Keep blocking them and don't engage, they might just give up eventually. Don't let them get to you!
Just focus on reporting and ignoring him. Seriously, there's not much else to do when it's just trolling. You deserve to feel safe online!
Thanks man, hope you're right!
