An Ontario woman says the LCBO won’t tell her the fate of an employee who violated her privacy by sharing online an image of her taken from the store’s security footage.

Chanty Binx — a pseudonym used for her feminist activism — popped into a Mississauga LCBO in late April. A clerk at the government-run store offered his help, but she later learned that he was only speaking with her because he recognized her from the Internet, and wanted to document that he’d seen the woman anti-feminist forums have for three years threatened with violence.

Her image — taken from a screen grab of LCBO security footage — appeared on Facebook on April 30 and identified her as the “feminist sensation” from years ago. That renewed the online hate that had prompted Binx to give up her public activism three years ago.

In 2013 a video of Binx arguing — she admits rudely and coarsely — with so-called men’s rights activists was shared widely in anti-feminist circles; in turn, she was subjected to violent threats and harassment that persist to this day on some forums. The image shared recently to Facebook and a subsequent media report has renewed the vitriol and led some to suggest they should search for her in the suburb West of Toronto in order to sexually assault her.
