Strollraid

Strollraid is a term that refers to a specific type of online harassment or cyberbullying that involves the use of social media platforms to target and harass individuals. The term was popularized by the British television show "Gogglebox," which featured a segment called "Strollraid," where participants would use social media to harass and intimidate individuals in public spaces. The practice involves creating fake social media profiles to post derogatory comments, threats, or personal information about the target, often in an attempt to cause distress or fear.

Strollraid is a form of doxing, where individuals' personal information is publicly shared online. This can include home addresses, phone numbers, and even intimate details, which can lead to real-world harassment and threats. The practice is illegal in many jurisdictions and is considered a form of cyberbullying and harassment.

The impact of strollraid can be severe, leading to emotional distress, anxiety, and in some cases, physical harm. It is important for individuals to report any instances of strollraid to the appropriate authorities and to use social media platforms responsibly. Platforms have implemented measures to combat strollraid, such as removing fake accounts and monitoring for harassment, but the practice continues to be a significant issue online.
