The definition of doxxing includes searching public databases for public data. Many schools have public timetables but that doesn't give you any right to make a "What lesson does little Elon have now" twitter bot.

Oh, but I thought public didn't convey any expectation of privacy? /S Sorry, just bloody bitter about how everybody will suddenly rally around privacy when it's a rich dude, but a regular Joe? Nah.

  My own perspective is opposite. People act like rich people aren't humans with rights anymore.

    In their defense, ehen the same people are rich because they've managed to find ways to economically scale systems that passively constrain or otherwise obviate reality's conformance with commonly held expectations, while everyone else labors while respecting certain lines should not be crossed... ...Let's just say that they have a decent leg to stand on from the stand point of "you got rich brcause you broke the code, not because you did anything better in good faith". Admittedly, we should all be equal before the law. Only one group though typically can field an army of lawyers to massage case law.

      That's a very long way to say "they broke the law"/"did something unethical/immoral" - which I don't think is the case - and regardless, that's no justification, even convicted criminals have their rights.

        It is a generally accepted principle that one should only seek the aid of the state with clean hands. Don't come to me looking for mercy or relief when you've thrown that out the window for everyone else. They already got theirs. The State is there not to serve as a tool for those people against those that seek not to expoit it, but in part to protect those who don't from those who will.

        Not true, as I said, even convicted criminals have their human rights.
