    My definition of doxxing comes from wikipedia and is supported. People here think their opinion of what doxxing is, is real, despite no proof or actual definition. I already went through the definition and shown that this is indeed doxxing. Want to read it, here

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxing

    And yes, this post contains private information. It contains the information of “these are this guys parents” which would only be known to the select few neighbors at best. Furthermore, it contains information about their political beliefs. So yes, it absolutely is doxxing with the intention of shaming the parents. The info doesn’t need to be completely private and hidden - aggregating info from public databases or facebook counts as well.

        Yup, so just proving further that law doesn’t apply to people you don’t like.

        Historically, the term has been used to refer to both the aggregation of this information from public databases and social media websites (like Facebook), and the publication of previously private information obtained through criminal or otherwise fraudulent means

        Literal quote from the wikipedia article I linked. It. Is. Doxxing.

            Definition from oxford languages, search for and publish private or IDENTIFYING information about an individual, typically with malicious intent.

            You are literally arguing semantics on something that is obviously doxxing because you don’t like the fact that someone got doxxed that you don’t like. For every definition that doesn’t specifically say “identifiable” information, there are three that do. But by all means, you go out and find the ones that let you sleep at night. I’m done with having a “world battle” over something that’s despicable behavior.
