A:
No, it is not legal for a YouTuber to incite their followers to spam someone’s posts on Facebook or any other platform. This kind of behavior can be considered harassment and cyberbullying, which are punishable under various laws. If this has caused you stress, you have the right to report this activity to the relevant authorities and the platforms involved.
You can report the YouTuber to YouTube for violating their harassment policies. Additionally, you can report the spam and harassment on Facebook to get the offending comments and posts removed. Documenting all the incidents with screenshots and timestamps can be very helpful when making these reports.
If the harassment continues, you may want to consider seeking legal advice to explore further actions you can take. It's important to take care of your mental well-being and seek support from friends, family, or a counselor during this stressful time. Remember, you have the right to a safe and respectful online experience.
