FaZe Rug gets revenge against address \u201cleaker\u201d after pushing charges Twitter: FaZe RugFaZe Clan YouTuber Brian \u2018Rug\u2019 Awadis has gotten revenge against a social media user who was leaking his address, with the \u2018doxxer\u2019 reportedly getting fined, arrested, and forced to shut down all social media accounts after the harassment. Doxxing is a serious issue in the online community. Popular content creators are constantly having their personal information leaked, including their home addresses. Having this information out in the open can have drastic consequences. Streamers have been \u201cswatted\u201d in the past, with people using their addresses maliciously to try and get the police to break into their house. While \u201cswatters\u201d have been arrested and charged in the past, \u201cdoxxers\u201d have often avoided the same fate. However, after having his address leaked, FaZe Rug took action to try and get revenge. The streamer has had his address plastered all over the internet for years. However, a viral TikTok brought the information back into the limelight. Segment begins at 3:15. \u201cA lot of people have been posting my address on TikTok, which is kind of messed up,\u201d Rug said back in March. \u201cYeah, it got leaked back in the day, but to bring it [back] up and get it popping again \u2014 that\u2019s where it kind of gets disrespectful.\u201d The TikTok reached 10 million views after being promoted on the \u201cFor You\u201d section. Rug asked the poster to take it down, although they initially ignored the YouTuber\u2019s request. Awadis then reached out on Instagram. \u201cI\u2019m having random people actually come to my house because of it. You wouldn\u2019t like that if it was happening to you, so out of respect, remove the video please,\u201d he said in the private message. The poster replied saying they would take it down, but they re-uploaded it two days later. Dude who\u2019s been leaking my address just got arrested \/ fined $7,500 and all his social media\u2019s got taken down.. \ud83d\udc80\ud83d\ude02 Doxxing ain\u2019t cool \u2014 Rug (@FaZeRug) August 19, 2020 Months later, Rug tweeted that he got a person who was leaking his address arrested. \u201cDude who\u2019s been leaking my address just got arrested and fined $7,500, and all his social media [accounts] got taken down. Doxxing ain\u2019t cool,\u201d the FaZe star said on Twitter. While it\u2019s unclear as to whether it\u2019s the same person he called out back in March, it\u2019s a victory not just for Rug, but all content creators who have had their addresses leaked. Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney, who was the target of a \u201cswatting\u201d back in 2018, celebrated for Rug. \u201cThat\u2019s good news, kids these days don\u2019t understand how serious some of that sh*t is,\u201d Tenney said. That\u2019s good news \ud83d\udcaa kids these days don\u2019t understand how serious some of that shit is \u2014 Tfue (@Tfue) August 19, 2020 The move could potentially set a precedent for other content creators to follow Rug\u2019s steps. With there being legal consequences, people might think twice before putting private information of stars out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
