This is actually fucked up

She could end up being a victim of harassment or even rape due to this

I think you mean “could”?

“Should” implies she deserves it, “could” means it’s a possibility.

I’m assuming that’s a very unfortunate autocorrect.

Headline undersells it: they defamed her by implying she was looking for friends with benefits in an ad, and then harassed her by intentionally buying ad space in her location.

They put her in a lot of danger this way and intentionally because they wanted men in her location to be able to recognize her.
