> Private "or identifying information" that seems to fit to me... I don't see how, honestly. That would make for an incredibly loose and meaningless definition. If I post "Donald J. Trump lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500", is that doxxing? Its identifying information. We could get into semantics but at the end of the day, doxxing shouldn't be something treated lightly. If we start considering too many things as doxxing, nobody will take it seriously.

If Trump made a speech and people posted the 1600 address I don't think anyone would think of that as doxing. If they posted his kid's school address, I think they would.

    You tell me, malicious intent?

      That's subjective. I'll make it objective. --- Everyone, please encourage NYU to expel Barron Trump as the Trump family is terrible. Here is where he goes to school. https://apnews.com/article/barron-trump-nyu-stern-business-school-bf02754085db99a49429efbb47b64626 https://apnews.com/article/barron-trump-nyu-stern-business-s... --- Is that doxxing now?

        Some things are subjective, that's life as far as I'm concerned. It's also part of the definition you chose.

Comparing two dissimilar things is the opposite of semantics.
