to include some of his current living relatives who work in government and military jobs
That's a form of doxxing and generally considered to be malicious behavior across most of the internet.
- samatman 5y agoExcept on, for one example, Wikipedia, where including relevant information about noteworthy relatives of people with entries is totally normal provided it can be cited from a reliable source.
- SkittyDog 5y agoIf these relatives are already publicly acknowledged to be working for or assigned to those organizations, there's nothing malicious or harmful about citing those already public sources. Put this another way... If a news reporter published a story about this person, would you call that "doxxing"? Probably not... That's just what "reporting" is. Doxxing requires malicious intent, and an attempt to cause harm to the subject by placing their personally identifying information in the path of some kind of expected public shitstorm. Unless there's reason to believe these relatives are going to suffer, then it seems like a stretch to call it doxxing.
