Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules:

Be respectful
Don't be a nazi
Argue about the point and not the person
This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.

If a woman said that she had a stalker showing up everywhere she went,

Yes, that's a big issue, but it's not what's happening.

She said she doesn't know where they are located because the harassment happened virtually.

Very different to say "I had people threaten me nonspecifically online" vs "the police followed me home"

I completely disavow all state repression. These people seem very intimidated and they should feel safe, but I could list a litany of awful shit the US has done with far more concrete evidence. (I really don't feel it's necessary and it would just get dismissed as whataboutism anyways.)

However I don't agree with extrapolating a testimony of online harassments into some narrative about how these aren't just random civically-minded volunteers but a vast world-spanning conspiracy to surreptitiously kidnap offenders. It's unfounded and the fact that the link you provided is citing elected conservatives demagoguing should really cue you into that.
