So... it’s a guy that made a website and has developed it into a small, presumably profitable, income stream. I don’t really see this as news. It’s just doxxing in my eyes, and that’s a bad thing. I’d be happy to hear other opinions on it.

Do you think it's strange that the website owner of a site dedicated to "exposing pedophiles" hosts chan style boards that regularly have child porn posted en-masse to the site? Or that this site is associated with a domain "lolis.xyz", referring to "lolita" or underage porn?

  Logically, yeah, that might represent a good reason to shine a light on the guy - but I don’t see the article mentioning those domains other than their inclusion in a graphic. Are they actually active? Lolis.xyz doesn’t load for me. Those domains alone I would consider “smoke”, but in and of themselves aren’t necessarily nefarious. I own a variety of domains that I absolutely don’t agree with, but purchased to either resell or keep out of the hands of people who wanted them - political in my case, but still.

I don't really understand the universal dislike of doxxing. I understand that in certain circumstances it feels like a violation but in others it just means adding transparency to which people are taking actions thta have a tangible affect on our world. So basically if this is doxxing, I'm all for it in this case.

  Lot's of downvotes, but I still don't get it. Everyone is better of for this guy being doxxed and the info was all out there waiting to be found. Why was this a bad thing?

    doesn't the news media dox people everyday? I mean some douchebags in Idaho killed their kids on their farm, and everybody knows their names, should the media not have doxxed them? I mean seriously, this guy is creating terrorist organizations in the name of anonymity and he should remain with said anonymity? that's ridiculous. Do something nefarious and you'll become infamous, and be doxxed, that's just how the world works.

Is exposing a scam artist the same as doxxing?

It is doxxing. Perhaps the type of job is newsworthy, but not the name of the employer. And it says a lot about people who virtue signal that Qanon is bad, they have no actual working morals.
