My (25M) Mother (56F) has become obsessed with a YouTuber and I don't know how to approach this.

My Mother started watching a YouTuber that is based in our city in March of this year. She found a few of his videos and enjoyed them a lot, so she became a fan and started watching all of his content. No big deal, she's allowed to do whatever she wants. She's a grown adult and how she spends her time is her business.

He posts a new video at 8 am, every single day. He has a podcast in video and audio form, and he does live streams to talk to his fans. In 3 months, she has watched every video, listened to and watched every podcast, and been there for every stream. This was a bit odd, but still, not a cause for any major concern.

It became a problem when she found out that he worked out of an office that she recognized (from a video that he posted) and planned to go there to meet him and give him a gift. I let her know that that was NOT okay, and that she should respect his privacy as he is still a person, and she thinks that it's fine. She's met him before and he is always happy to meet fans should they happen to meet in public, but she doesn't seem to understand the difference between meeting him in a grocery store and going to an office that he has not released the address of publicly.

How do I approach this? How do I convince her that doxxing people from the content they post is NEVER okay and that she needs to respect his privacy? I don't want her to think she's not allowed to enjoy things but I really need her to understand that this is NOT okay.

TL;DR Mom is obsessed with a Youtuber, doxxed him and made plans to visit his office. How do I convince her that this is NOT okay without stifling her interest?
