If "doxxing" means stating, correctly, that a certain student was a member of an organization at the time that organization signed a particular public statement, then no, doxxing an individual should not be any sort of crime, doxxing an individual under that definition is protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Should ProPublica be able to doxx wealthy individuals by publishing their tax returns? Of course they should, that's called freedom of the press. And I hate ProPublica. The person that gave them the returns is going to prison, as they should, but publishing that information is called freedom of the press.
Even if ProPublica's intent is to harass wealthy individuals, which I believe it certainly is.
- reaperman 3y agoWhat do you hate about ProPublica? I thought they did a great job with the available data for their series on chemical releases causing cancer in certain industrial areas[0]. The data available to them is not enough: it's mostly voluntary written release reports combined with weather models to predict gas diffusion patterns, rather than real physical measurements in neighborhoods -- we don't have any gas monitoring so they did as much as anyone could instead. 0: https://projects.propublica.org/toxmap/ https://projects.propublica.org/toxmap/
