> Attacks and doxing make me personally MORE likely to support stronger safety features in chromium, as such acts increase my suspicion that there is significant intimidation from criminals who are afraid this feature will disrupt their illegal and/or unethical businesses, and I don't give in to criminals or bullies
Trying to change the narrative to doxxing and harassment sounds a lot like the classic influencer playbook for dealing with controversies:
1. Influencer/organization screws up.
2. This attracts negative attention.
3. Influencer/organization comes out with a statement that they are being bullied, doxxed, harassed, etc. Often evidence of this is absent or questionable.
4. They use their network and media contacts to make the story about (3) instead of (1).
A manager who cares about their staff should be aware that the only way to deal with harassment and abuse is to publicly ignore it and handle matters internally. Don't give the trolls any attention whatsoever. Any response will exacerbate the issue. If someone has been doxxed and there is a credible threat, put them up in a hotel on the other side of town for a few nights and contact law enforcement.
