What exactly is the point of this post? I second the opinion that this shouldn't be on HN. It's just doxxing the poor girl.

I thought it was about using the current Tech (GPS tracking/social media) to provide evidence.

HN should never dox people. HN shouldn't approve of articles doxxing. But I don't think hiding from things happening on the internet is the HN way. Upvoting an article means it's interesting, not that you agree with the views necessarily. This is certainly an article from a site that uses mob justice. And like most mob justice about something pretty silly, it's more about getting outraged and getting to pick on someone.

  How is a detectives breakdown of a cheater any different from a breakdown of an exploit that often show up on HN? This Huffington post editor JANE SEO wins 2nd place in a public race, gets caught cheating, and your first thought is "dont show her name!!" Beyond preposterous. If you cheat in public, be prepared to be outed in public. She deserves absolutely no sympathy, the cheating was done for purely personal gain. And she has cheated before based on her Strata data. A twisted individual but of course the SJWs have to cry about the court of public opinion. Yet you love the court of public opinion when its for something positive...It goes both ways.

I don't think it meets the strict definition of docxing if the person in question is using their real name on social profiles along with face pictures and publicizing their results. Although I do sympathize with someone getting publicly shamed.
