- chownie 5y agoOnly if you reach as far as you possibly can to stretch that word. Putting "=Username" at the end to see if the user has an account on the very site we're discussing this on is pretty far from documenting identifying information, no?

- breakfastduck 5y agochecking if someone has got an account on HN is doxxing now?
