Doxing wasn't my question; I was just presuming aloud that everyone made use of the tools that Big Tech was selling. I don't see just one side being aware of the possibilities of buying data (nor do I think there are only two sides... it's a spectrum with many fronts).
- NoraCodes 4y agoMakes sense, thank you for clarifying. For what it's worth, I don't think there's really room for a comparable strategy on the left; most of the work being done in social policy on the left is oriented _against_ proscriptive laws, so it wouldn't make sense to similarly collect the information of people doing things now that might be in violation of laws passed later. That is to say, part of the definition of left-wing social policy is that it tends to increase the space of things society allows, rather than reduce it, and so gathering lists of undesirables is not really going to help. I'm sure the Marxist-Leninists would love to try, though.
