Anonymous pizza deliveries are very much cowards saying "we know where you live." Things usually escalate to more serious stuff arriving at your home, because often this harassment is perpetrated within a community that feels the need to constantly one-up each other. I found this bit from the WaPo story interesting, given that harassers take full advantage of consumer data services (and the broad availability of US consumer data) to find their targets in real life.

"Some of the pizza deliveries have gone to judges’ relatives. In recent weeks, orders have been placed in the name of U.S. District Judge Esther Salas’s son, Daniel Anderl, who was fatally shot at the family home in New Jersey in 2020 by an attorney who posed as a delivery person."

It's curious that the perpetrators would so heartlessly invoke Anderl's name: The person who killed Daniel Anderl was a lawyer who was upset at one of the judge's rulings, and he came to her house disguised as a Fedex driver, ended up shooting her son instead and then himself.

The result of this attack was Daniel's Law, which is currently being litigated against by nearly every consumer data broker on the planet right now. They are challenging the constitutionality of Daniel's Law, after a privacy company called Atlas sued >150 data brokers. Atlas alleged the brokers were violating the NJ statute, which allows police officers, judges and their families to be removed from consumer data broker services.
