No it is not. It is the revealing of personal information in such a way as to allow someone to be targeted in real life.

You're not in charge of what things mean. Here's Wikipedia: > Doxing or doxxing is the act of publicly providing personally identifiable information about an individual or organization, usually via the Internet. This would include publishing PII about Asahi Lina, like her "real" name, as it personally identifies her. It's no wonder the Asahi Linux project doesn't want to talk to people with your attitude. Maybe take some time to do some introspection on why you feel so strongly about this issue, which seems to impact you not at all.

  Publishing someone's real name online isn't doxing when his real name is already publically available online. It just isn't personally identifiable information when it is already public. Is it doxing to say that "rms" means Richard Stallman? Grow up. He is one of many people online that sometimes uses a pseudonym, and pointing out that he contributes to the project as himself and also contributes while creepily pretending to be a female child on Twitch (not at all disturbing, no way) is not doxing. I don't "feel strongly" about it at all. Save the pop psychologising for someone else. Awful tactic to try to use.

    > Publishing someone's real name online isn't doxing when his real name is already publically available online. You're being deliberately obtuse. It's the connecting (obviously) that's the issue. It's like saying, "publishing someone's address online isn't doxing when their address is already publicly available online." Yeah I only care if you say it's my address. > I don't "feel strongly" about it at all. > also contributes while creepily pretending to be a female child on Twitch > Grow up. Insults, condescending remarks, yeah I believe you don't feel strongly about this. I usually try to be cooler on HN than this, but this is super toxic. You've obviously got some kind of beef--regardless of what you say--and I think it would probably behoove you to get to the bottom of it.

      >I usually try to be cooler on HN than this, but this is super toxic. I am responding in kind, based on the way you are talking to me. If you were polite, there would be no issue. Instead, you make nasty psychologising comments and then pretend that you're a victim when someone responds in kind. >You're being deliberately obtuse. It's the connecting (obviously) that's the issue. It's like saying, "publishing someone's address online isn't doxing when their address is already publicly available online." Yeah I only care if you say it's my address. Publishing someone's address online when it's already publicly known what their address is isn't doxing! Everyone knows that Marcan is a vtuber in his spare time, it's been public knowledge since about day 2 of him doing it.

        > I am responding in kind, based on the way you are talking to me. If you were polite, there would be no issue. I've yet to insult or condescend to you, whereas you've condescended to me ("Grow up"). I'm not "psychologising" you, I've said that you're pushing an issue that affects you not at all but is harmful to others, and that you should probably figure out why you're doing that (or, why you refuse to accept you're doing that). Maybe me being polite while pointing it out makes it seem like I'm "psychologising" you, so let me rephrase: you clearly can't keep yourself from harassing people who live life in a totally harmless way, that's real weird, and you might not know how weird it is. > and then pretend that you're a victim when someone responds in kind Again I've not insulted or condescended to you so you're not actually responding in kind, but that aside I don't at all feel like the victim here. > Publishing someone's address online when it's already publicly known what their address is isn't doxing! This analogy doesn't fit, because--again--the connection isn't publicly known. How do I know it's not publicly known? Because I didn't "know" and I looked. I went to marcan's various social media sites and his website, to Asahi Lina's various social media sites and her website, and came up bupkis. So to be honest, I can't corroborate your claim based on what I've seen, and it's not for lack of looking. Could I probably find something? Sure. Do I care to? Not even a little. Basically your argument boils down to: "someone already doxxed this person, so it doesn't matter if someone does it again". I think any reasonable person would think that's wrong.
