(1)This morning a fake Instagram account was made under my name, sharing my photos from my Instagram, sharing naked pics/videos of a girl w/o her face, claiming it’s me and trying to sell porn. I have been very distressed all day,I found out that it’s happened to many irish girls

Whether you think Ian Bailey is guilty of murder or not. He beat his wife to a pulp. He profited from Sophie’s horrific murder. He was a narcissist who would make jokes about what happened and would walk around West Cork like some sort of celebrity. He was a horrible man.

(9) honestly I was upset this morning but this has made it so much worse. I naively went into the room without one of my parents because I didn’t think I would be blamed for someone else’s wrongful behaviour. It makes me wonder how reports of sexual assault and rape are handled.

(5) I asked simply if there was ANY possibility of finding how who was behind this targeting and the answer was yes. That is all I wanted to know and also how to find out. I feel so belittled, patronised and upset that I was treated like that by two male Guards.

(3) to say my experience with the guards earlier was horrific is an understatement. I feel that I was being passed the blame for someone stealing my photos, and pretending to me to sell porn. I was asked how many followers I had and if was on private

(10) also having your photos stolen and used, putting up images of nudes girls claiming them to be you and selling porn under your name is apparently, the same as “spam emails”. Everyday is a school day 😃

176
(4) (4,000+ followers, not private btw) I was told that because the a/c was public there’s no much they can do even though someone literally has stolen my photos. I was also TOLD that I “shouldn’t put up photos that I wouldn’t want getting around.” Take what you will of that.

(2) this upset and knowing it’s happened others, I thought it best to ring the Guards. So I did and I went in to my local station. I explained about the account and wanted to know if it was possible to find out who was behind the account and this targeting of young girls online

(8) I said to them, “someone has stolen my identity”. They replied “well that’s the online world”. I said “you can’t walk into a bank and pretend to me so why are we allowing someone pretending to be me selling porn away with it just cause it’s online?!?”
1

157
(6) I told them that with my line of work I choose to have my accounts public and the photos I share are not ‘provocative’ but even if they were me in a bikini, what does that change? Someone is pretending to be me, stolen my photos and is trying to sell porn under my name?

I am writing a letter to An Taoiseach and the Minister for Education regarding the State exams and the lack of confirmed clarity and the unnecessary and added stress this has put on students. If you have anything important you believe should be added let me know.

(7) I was “advised” because of a “duty of care” to put my account on private. I said if anyone wanted photos of my they could type my name into Google. Essentially the advice from the guards, get rid of your entire online presence so that nobody steals your identity.

2 weeks ago Choice was not on the table. ISSU had to endure those difficult conversations and advocate and fight for choice. We didn’t walk out of the room. Walking out does not help anyone, and DOES NOT put the best interests of students first.

Can people not film politicians when they are out? We are damn lucky in this country that we can walk down the street and bump into politicians and even our Taoiseach. If you’re going to take a video to put up giving out why don’t you actually go and air your concerns to them?

Okay I’m gona say it, if we had control over our own wages we would all increase them. Hence why we don’t have that choice. There needs to be a separate body to deal with gov wages, travel expenses etc. There’s no accountability because they are only answering to themselves!!!!
