My friend exposed a guy for bad stuff. Now he's created a site where he archives everything my friend posts online & deliberately twists it to make her look bad/discredit her. What should she do?

This guy is 38 and she was part of some chatroom and he started talking to her 13 year old little sister in a way that very obviously had ill intent. She called him out on this and posted screenshots of that chatroom online. Now ever since this, he has a site where he archives almost everything she says online. She made a post about how she prefers cats over dogs, then he archived that and posted the link to the archive on his site saying “never trust a dog hater with anything” and it just goes on, and on, and on for years.

OP, your friend is the victim of criminal cyberstalking and harassment. This dude should be reported to the authorities

This is stalking. She could get a restraining order which includes interacting with her online content, so if he continued to repost it would be a violation of the order.

Get the police involved

Call an attorney to see if there is anything that can be done.

  Also, start archiving the website in order to compile evidence for later. Don’t count on this person leaving the site up.

Have a detailed, copy-pasted reply with links ready to go. Every time he pops his head up anywhere, remind anybody watching that he is a known pedophile. Also, talk to a lawyer about the possibility his behavior might rise to the level of harassment.

    Depending on the jurisdiction you’re in accusing someone of being a pedophile may not be a good idea. You should definitely talk to a lawyer though, preferably before you make any accusations.

I highly doubt a random website will get any traction. Why doesn’t she just make her social media private? Why hasn’t she blocked this random dude

  She's the victim here and shouldn't need to do any of this.

    Everyone regardless of victim status should use the tools available to protect their personal information online.
    
    If someone is publishing your personal information without your consent, local laws and regulations may apply. You kinda have to be lucky with police and the legal system to take you seriously though.

Ignore him?

  She would normally, but he’s actively spreading misinformation about her, claiming this is “karma” for her spreading “misinformation” about him. She has fibromyalgia and he’s going around accusing her of faking it, and he’s also accused her of being a shoplifter because of what was extremely obviously a joke that was taken out of context

    Nobody cares about what some random person says about some other random person. If she just stops stalking this guy stalking her, he’ll either get bored and move on, or, he’ll continue to waste his life posting insults that she’ll never read.
