what do you think about the clay party website? Apparently, when you enter it, it steals your IP address, phone number, home address. They start calling you, texting you threats, sending strange packages and stealing data from your phone. Is it possible on iphone? Does clicking on the page as in the picture count as entering the page?

Who is “they”? What is “they’s” qualifications? An IP address is ephemeral. It is not fixed, and changes regularly; it is controlled by your carrier, not by you. “They” also say that people have been abducted by aliens. And “they” also say that the Earth is flat. So whatever “they” say about IP addresses is as meaningful as a flat earth or alien abduction, or maybe even less so.

they say that „People can get scared if someone unknown knows their IP which can be "changed" to an address you don't want people online to know as well”
That’s hilarious. No. IP addresses are shared contemporaneously and temporally, and most are ephemeral.
Your “they” is not a technical resource, and “they” should consider a comedy career.
It takes effort and thought to be this consistently wrong, too.
Unfortunately, the effects of Brandolini’s Law are a problem for all of us.
There was a portal like kiwifarms, it was a group of people who are against some communities, lgbt+, etc. They harassed the streamer and other people, used doxing on them and apparently someone was missing because of them.
That has ZERO to do with IP addresses. As I said, it is very easy to get someone’s address, phone number, social security number, bank account number and many other bits of personal information. Have you tried googling yourself yet?
Please just stop.
This is a technical support forum for Apple products. Your questions are way out of scope for these forums.
Start typing your questions into google... There's lots of useful information out there.
Cookies are placed on your phone by the site, so they can only contain information that the site already knows about you. Their purpose is so the site knows what you have already done on the site. I think you need to stop reading internet articles.
And I’m tired of say this, so I’m going to stop following this thread.

There may be a quiz.
If you enter your name, address and other personal information on a website, anything can happen. Only give out personal information to people or organizations you trust.
I didn't even go to this page but I saw on tik tok that after entering this page they called people and sent threats
My friend went to the site but immediately left and my cousin looked at the site as in the picture. Are you sure nothing will happen because of this?
And by entering the site you can't be hacked or robbed of your ip address?
You can’t be “robbed” of your IP address. Your IP address is public. It’s what allows you to communicate with systems on the Internet.
or hack and steal your home IP address?
