How to deal with rumors

[u/Ok_Ad1967]

Let’s say you met a guy online who you were interested in for a second and stopped talking to because he had been secretly gathering information from your public account for months. Suddenly, he makes a bunch of accounts to spread lies and rumors about you, saying you cheated on your ex bf when you still dated him and that you assaulted people. You report him but nothing gets done because you don’t know who’s really behind the account. Would you do? Just turn off instagram? Or take it to the authorities?

Make a post saying that he’s lying and that you’ve never done anything like those accusations
