Men Stopping Violence

Menstoppingviolence.org is a people search website that allows users to access detailed personal information by searching for an individual's name. The site aggregates public records to provide data such as criminal records, judgments, addresses, phone numbers, social media accounts, and relatives. This service operates deceptively under the name of a former non-profit organization, Men Stopping Violence, which focused on preventing violence against women but ceased operations in mid-2024. The current website exploits the defunct organization's name and mission, creating a misleading impression that could lure in users under false pretenses. Exposing sensitive personal information on a platform with this name poses severe risks, ironically creating a tool that could be used by abusers, stalkers, and other malicious actors to locate and harass individuals, including survivors of violence. To protect one's privacy, it is advisable to limit the amount of personal information shared publicly and to actively seek removal from such databases, though some users have reported that the site's opt-out function is ineffective.
