  I haven't checked if it's happened before, but doxxing is trivial. You can look up anyone's name and address using their callsign on the FCC website: https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/searchLicense.jsp https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/searchLicense.jsp

  Right, I was continuing the analogy. One example of a community being labeled as right-wing extremists (or worse) is Gab.ai. Another Example is Zerohedge's comment section. Was anyone doxxed for using these platforms? I don't know. I do know those platforms have been deplatformed. There seems to be a concerted effort to label Facebook a place where extremists gather, lots of people virtue signaling about how they're not using Facebook because it's so toxic and full of Nazis. It's only a matter of time until it's a sin just for using Facebook.
