Caroline Hirons, a beauty expert with a large social media following, tells the BBC that it’s a “lie that this is in the public interest”.
“I’m a skincare expert, you don’t need to be posting pictures of my grandchildren,” she says.
Hirons has had private documents shared on Tattle Life as well as pictures of her children and grandchildren, some of which are still on the website.
“This is not normal trolling – the website has become a place that makes it seem like it’s OK to stalk and harass people constantly.”
Lydia Millen, who has more than 1.6m followers on Instagram, also believes anonymity shouldn’t be an option when utilising forums, comment sections or social media.
“Whilst you are entitled to your opinion, you aren’t entitled to anonymity which places you above the law,” she argues.
Millen, one of the most talked about people on the gossip website, says she has dealt with “relentless trolling” every day for the past five years, and often fears for her family’s safety.
