Doxing

Doxing (alternatively spelled as doxxing) is the act of posting someone's private information publicly as a form of cyberbullying.

Why It Sucks and Why You Shouldn't Do It

 * 1) Posting someone's personal information is an invasion of privacy.
 * 2) It can lead to identity theft, swatting, people getting the victim fired and overall ruin someone's life. While it can be believed doxing can be justified in vigilantism or bringing justice, it can do more damage than necessary as publicly showing all personal information to the public internet instead of the authorities can cause targeted harassment and unwanted attention against those individuals and even others related to them.
 * 3) *It's also dangerous as the victim can be at risk of getting hurt or even killed.
 * 4) It's a popular tactic SJWs do on social media to get back at people for "wrongthink". The tweet shown on the right has a member of Antifa wanting to dox Trump supporters. Here are some more examples of doxing:
 * 5) Another example happened back in May 2020 when a Nicki Minaj fan doxed popular music chart user @chartdata for not updating about the Say So vs Savage battle for #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
 * 6) On November 20, 2020, a woman named Fifi aka stardewleaf, who is a fan of Animal Crossing was doxed by SJWs and radical BLM activists on Twitter for wearing a specific hairstyle in a video game. More can be read about it by clicking here.
 * 7) On June 13, 2021, Scott Cawthon, who is the maker of the Five Nights at Freddy's games, became a victim of getting doxxed. He was cancelled and doxed at the same time when SJWs found out he's a conservative, and he donated money to anti-LGBT politicians. Not only was Scott himself doxed, but also, his entire family was doxed as well.
 * 8) *Futhermore, certain internet trolls on YouTube were laughing, cheering, and celebrating, and even made uncivil memes that Scott got cancelled/doxed, including Logan Roof. Yes, you read that right, Logan Roof, the same troll account that made fun of the deaths of Markiplier's niece, DanTDM's pug Peggy, and Jacksepticeye's dad. This troll even went as far as saying Scott Cawthon deserved getting cancelled, which is just beyond disgusting and repulsive.
 * 9) **Another internet troll also suggested that Scott's wife should be kicked in the stomach. Not only is that considered incredibly disrespectful, but on top of that, it's very dangerous as his wife is currently pregnant, which can cause a placental abruption to her and harm hers unborn baby.
 * 10) ***In fact, as a result of the doxing as well as harassment and death threats from internet trolls and SJWs, Scott's wife started suffering a lot of health problems.
 * 11) Even though it can be illegal, Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter encourages it if it's against the "right" people. The Antifa member faced no repercussions for hers actions and actually gloated about getting off scot free.
 * 12) Even children aren't safe. Skai Jackson doxed a thirteen year old boy and got him expelled from school. His parents even lost their jobs because of her.
 * 13) As shown above, the person doxxed may not be the the only person that suffers as people close to the victim can suffer as well.
 * 14) Some even want to dox others for very petty reasons. Adam Sessler encouraged doxing as a way to deal with rude people online.
 * 15) It's a popular tactic for ResetEra against developers that don't cater to them.
 * 16) Not only can doxing cause people to get fired and lose their job as well as ruin their lives as shown in WIS#2, it can even cause people or their relatives to commit suicide.
 * 17) Some internet troll communities (Like Encyclopedia Dramatica) even think doxing is a joke or satire, when it's really not.
 * 18) *As for Encyclopedia Dramatica, due to how infamous they are for doxing users, and many of their wrongdoings, many sites have banned users for being a part of it, like the Cutting Room Floor for example.
 * 19) Alternative video platforms that have a much smaller fan-base on the internet aren't safe from doxxers either.
 * 20) *In July of 2020, when Vlare.tv was still online just around a month before the site closed from a DMCA takedown, a bunch of Cartoon Police Groups aka VLTP and UTTP wanted to dox several Vlare users on their Discord. Thankfully, the staff of Vlare took care of the problem fast as they banned these users on the site for doxxing. On top of that, Cartoon Police Groups were also banned on Discord.
