SSSniperwolf, a famous streamer, has been at war with a YouTuber called Jacksfilms. These two hate each other. But their feud reached boiling point last night when SSSniperwolf went to her rival's house and filmed it for her Instagram followers, thereby doxxing him to millions of people.
A content war has been ongoing for months. On one side, SSSniperwolfs, on the other Jacksfilms. But why are they fighting? Long story short, she does a lot of reaction content and he thinks this is effectively stealing content.
A quick reminder for those who touch grass:
- SSSniperwolf, whose real name is Alia Shelesh, is a well-known online personality and streamer. She gained popularity for her gameplay videos, vlogs, and content related to video games, particularly in the first-person shooter genre.
- Jacksfilms is the online pseudonym of John Patrick Douglass, a popular YouTuber and internet personality known for his comedic and satirical content. He first gained prominence on YouTube for his humorous sketches, parodies, and commentary on various topics.
Right, to the doxxing!
SSSniperwolf Went To Jacksfilms Home Filmed It For Instagram
On Instagram SSSniperwolf asked her followers "should I go to Jacksfilms house" in a poll:
Sssniperwolf just doxxed me on her IG.Creepy, gross, violating.What you do is disgusting. You steal content AND stalk youtubers. @YouTube demonetize this dangerous "creator" or just get her off your platform. She posted an IG story right outside our home and deleted it. pic.twitter.com/dxuXWGM7wv

Obviously, the viewers wanted to see more conflict and so they voted "yes". SSSniperwolf did exactly as the mob had asked and then went to Jacksfilms house, filming it from the outside and sharing photos on social media:

And so in response to the doxxing, Jacksfilms is asking YouTube to ban her:

But can they? Is doxxing against YouTube policy?
Yes, doxxing, which involves sharing or publishing someone's private and personal information without their consent, is typically against YouTube's policies. YouTube, like many other online platforms, has guidelines and community standards in place to ensure the safety and privacy of its users.
But in the fine print YouTube have left room to effectively respond as they see fit in each situation, so we'll have to wait and see how (or even if) they respond in this case.
