An innocent tweet about a wildly popular online multiplayer game led to a terrifying real-life campaign of doxxing and death threats against employees of game company Bungie Inc.
Two employees of Bungie, the American company behind “Destiny 2” — a first-person shooter with 40 million users — recently convinced an Ontario judge to order Waterloo-based TextNow Inc. to name its customers who made “racist and serious physical threats” against them.
TextNow offers users anonymous phone service. On June 2 a Bungie employee in the U.S. tweeted an advertisement for “Destiny 2” with two videos of a gamer who uses the online name Uhmaayyze. The ads called him a hero.
