You are making an excuse for doxxing. I posted the definition that this falls in squarely. The name was not public knowledge until printed (saying someone could search it is a cop out, looking it up for one person use and posting for thousands to use is not the same) and had no public interest except for what exactly happened and you are approving of.

It wasn’t doxxing. The name was public with a simple Whois search on the website.

When a web account is affecting laws… as Christina Pushaw said it was in Florida… then yes there is a public interest.

And… now there are bomb threats.

Seems like amplifying baseless nonsense is dangerous and Libs of TikTok should be more careful in the future.

Wouldn’t you agree?

Show us a definition of doxxing that says it has to only private information that no one could get legally.

Otherwise it was doxxing and you approve it because it came from your side.

Tell us what public interest was the persons name?

Doxing (sometimes written as Doxxing) is the act of revealing identifying information about someone online, such as their real name, home address, workplace, phone, financial, and other personal information. That information is then circulated to the public — without the victim’s permission.

Doxing or doxxing is the act of publicly revealing previously private personal information about an individual or organization, usually via the Internet.[1][2] Methods employed to acquire such information include searching publicly available databases and social media websites (like Facebook), hacking, and social engineering. Doxing may be carried out for reasons such as online shaming, extortion, and vigilante aid to law enforcement.[3][4] It also may be associated with hacktivism.

search for and publish private or identifying information about (a particular individual) on the internet, typically with malicious intent.
“hackers and online vigilantes routinely dox both public and private figures”

Still blaming the messenger and I believe the receptionist over the hospital anyway.

When one makes themselves a public figure with a social media account that calls teachers groomers and calls for them to be fired … writing a story about the person who is behind that account and finding out the name via easily accessible public information is now considered doxxing because words are meaningless now.

And considering what has happened to Chaya Raichik since her name has been published… you know getting backing from GOP strategists and such as opposed to the people that she herself has targeted… maybe this supposed “doxxing” wasn’t the worst thing to happen to her.

Man… to have the power to anonymously ruin people’s lives over the internet and have supporters become really concerned about decorum when a reporter does a Whois search… must be a great place to be in.

Glad you can admit it was doxxing and you approve.

Amplifying nonsense is leading to violent acts. That is not good,

And why… why would one believe a receptionist over doctors?

It wasn’t doxxing.

Unless the word has lost all meaning.

I gave you three separate definitions that prove it was. You obviously didn’t know the definition and are struggling to admit it. But it was on your side so you approve.

Doxxing is the act of revealing private information, publicly.

You don’t think much about the honesty of receptionists then. Too low class? What about people who post what someone says about someone grabbing the wheel of a car when they weren’t even in the car, and the people who were in the car weren’t asked to verify? Different thing?

Look above at the numerous definitions that do not say it has to be private.

I will take their word for it not your feelings about it.

It isn’t about honesty… it is about when one needs to talk about a medical procedure does one talk to a doctor or the receptionist?

If the Janitor at a hospital were to say that the administration was approving cutting off every tenth patient’s little toe… is that a claim that should be taken at face value?

I mean if something is already public how is that harassment?

Like would it be doxxing if I dropped the address to Mar a Lago in this thread?

I can see that. Did they try to,talk to the Doctors?

And the same thing if you are going to report what occurred in a car.

So you are gonna go with ignorance. Read the definitions above. It is about using the information maliciously not necessarily it being private.

If I posted the address to Mar a Lago… is that doxxing?

Don’t be an idiot. Of course not it is a Club. That is like asking if burger king is doxxing. I didn’t say any information was doxxing. Stop playing childish gotcha games.
