This is Anthony Haffner, a 21 year old autistic man from Cincinnati, Ohio has been linked to repeated harassment on YouTube, including using Michael Taylor accounts to claim technical wins on game shows, making threats to shut down people’s channels and trying to get users’ passwords in an attempt to hack accounts. There are serious concerns about when YouTubers post on their Birthday, Anthony Haffner would use an alt Michael Taylor account saying "Unhappy Birthday" which is very disrespectful and hurtful to those celebrating their Birthday. He has also impersonated and targeted users on YouTube, including Dylan Jones, Kevin Chau, DinomiteTwinsIRL, and others. This kind of conduct creates fear, spreads confusion, and makes people feel unsafe in the spaces where they should be able to share videos and talk with others.  We are calling on Google, YouTube, and Facebook to remove Anthony Haffner's accounts immediately and take stronger action, including permanent IP bans and account termination protocols that prevent future evasion. Harassment on these platforms has created an unsafe environment for community members. Reports describe repeated impersonation of other users, sockpuppet accounts used to target and intimidate, threats directed at creators, attempts to obtain passwords, and coordinated campaigns to disrupt channels and communities. This behavior has spread fear and confusion among people simply trying to share content and connect with others online. The pattern includes ban evasion—new accounts created after terminations to continue the same conduct. Recent activity in late August 2025 has reportedly involved celebrating channel closures, sending threatening communications, and harassment tied to personal contact information. Reports also describe inappropriate profile content and disrespectful behavior toward community members, public figures, and their supporters across both YouTube and Facebook. These platforms have policies against harassment, impersonation, threats, and coordinated abuse. When users violate these terms repeatedly and evade enforcement, the platforms must act decisively. Users deserve spaces where they can create, share, and engage without fear of targeted campaigns, threats, or intimidation. We are also calling on law enforcement to investigate this matter fully and arrest and charge him with fines of up to $25,000 and have his electronic devices seized. Our communities deserve online spaces that are safe, respectful, and free from harassment and threats. Tech platforms and law enforcement both have a role to play in protecting people from coordinated online abuse. The time for decisive action is now. We demand that YouTube, Google, and Facebook exercise their authority to ban Anthony Haffner from their platforms permanently. Let this be a strong message that harassment will not be tolerated and that all users have the right to express themselves without fear.
