Flagging this because doxxing is not something this site should promote, no matter how high-profile the post, nor how politicized the content. No matter how interesting the techniques used, this thread is potentially as dangerous as Reddit's witch hunt for the Boston bomber. [0]

- nautilus12 8y agoNot trying to be pedantic with a sad situation but hadn't Sunil Tripathi already been missing for a month and was already dead when reddit fingered him as the bomber? This makes it sound like Reddit was the cause of his death. Granted, it could have been which is why doxxing should be avoided, but I still dont think this is a good example. It should be careful to distinguish between the harm caused to his family and the cause of his death which I dont think was reddit/4chan. I am a bit confused because this says he dissapeared on the 16th, but other sources say he had been missing for a month prior.
