One approach is to simply not care if you are doxxed. What would really happen if someone figured out who you are? If the answer is not much, maybe don’t worry about it. This approach makes less sense if you are saying things that will get you in hot water.
- cardamomo 6y agoI'm not likely to say things that will get me in hot water, and I'm not a public figure by any means. That said, I see doxxing as a tactic increasingly employed against those who participate in political activism, which, like many, I am increasingly involved in.
- ggggtez 6y agoThis is a key point missing in your original post. If being politically active using your real name or real face is required, you'll need to just accept that people will be able to tie your name and face together eventually. You can additionally try to make yourself not stand out in real life: Choose a non-flashy style of dress. Black hoodie, hat, glasses, mask. Something that dozens of other people will be wearing at such events.
- userbinator 6y agomask It's interesting how the virus has caused far more widespread acceptance of wearing a mask in public, something that would arouse suspicion only a year ago. Covering most of your face no longer causes others to notice you.

(Maybe) Instead, he or she (or others in politics) might get doxxed about things unrelated to politics that s/he wants to keep private. Which might have worse consequences if beinga bit well known because of politics
