Is it only doxxing if the organisation is digital only? Should we have no right to know who controls a large media organisation?

- mikkupikku 9mo agoWhether you have a right to know, according to your personal value system, is orthogonal to whether it's doxing.
- otterley 9mo agoRights don’t emanate from one’s subjective personal beliefs. Sure, there are “natural rights” espoused by political philosophers, but in the real world, rights are enshrined in constitutions and codified in laws that we are all subject to.
- mikkupikku 9mo agoAgain, irrelevant to the question of whether it's doxing.
- otterley 9mo agoIt's absolutely relevant. Some activities break the law; others don't. Why should we care about and assign a negative appellation like "doxxing" to lawful investigative activity?
- mikkupikku 9mo agoWhether you care about somebody getting doxed is orthogonal to whether they've been doxed. Whether you care or not is entirely up to you, it has no relevance.
