What do you do when someone is harassing you online using your name, your photo, posting about you obsessively and spreading rumors, but the police say there’s nothing they can do because there’s no “credible threat”?

I’ve spoken to lawyers. All I’ve been told is to document everything and stay silent.

Sorry if this is not the right bowl but feeling desperate.

Do you know who the person is?

You should consult a lawyer and ask them if you can sue this person for defamation, libel, etc

Maybe you can also report them on whatever platforms they are posting on? Figure that conduct has to violate their terms of use.

What types of lawyers have you consulted?

You’ll want to find a lawyer with experience with internet stalking and harassment. They’ll know the range of remedies available to you, from civil to criminal to administrative/platform-specific actions.

News articles discussing these issues may lead to you to industry experts, and you can contact them for lawyer referrals.

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
