I don't think doxxing is illegal, especially if it's publicly available information. Otherwise the phone book would have been outlawed before it became obsolete. Now if it should be illegal is a tricky one. I think dating "apps" have changed things drastically from dating "websites" of old, because the websites made it obvious that anyone can sign up and find you. The originals anyone could find you without even signing up. The apps try to hide this, which gives a false illusion of privacy. Then at the same time they're requesting more and more information, some of which may not be obvious to the user. So I guess I think the real fault lies with these apps for not making it obvious to their users that they are making this information public.
