I think that is a fair line of reasoning. Most online forums have rules against doxing. Then again, most online forums have problems with anonymous users maki

  Sure, it's also complicit, but the cost-benefit analysis favors Wikipedia, whereas KF has a much higher bar of utlity to clear because it's publishing information that would be trivial to use to hurt specific individuals. What value could KF provide that's worth that pain? I don't think there's any.

It's legal for kiwifarms' users and it's legal for the phone company, the federal election commission and for my city government too. > What value could KF provide that's worth that pain? I don't think there's any. What pain, exactly though? People claim that there have been suicides, but the claims seem dubious at best. If you call someone out for misappropriating funds and they commit suicide, is that on you? What value? Many reporters (and regular humans) use kiwifarms to get a sense of the history, backstories and relationships of online figures and groups.
