Harassment By Package Delivery
People harassing women by delivering anonymous packages purchased from Amazon.
On the one hand, there is nothing new here. This could have happened decades ago, pre-Internet. But the Internet makes this easier, and the article points out that using prepaid gift cards makes this anonymous. I am curious how much these differences make a difference in kind, and what can be done about it.

You’re absolutely right, this IS old news – in fact years ago people used to order free FedEx boxes en masse to peoples’ addresses, order hookers from Craigslist to their front door, unwanted pizza deliveries to their addresses, things like that. The modus operandi has barely changed.
