How do you "dox" a journalist? Are they writing under anonymous bylines now?
- SpecialistK 7mo agoBy releasing personal information which a reasonable person would expect to be private? I don't know the specifics of this case (only responding to the overly vague question) but information like address, private contact info, details about their families. Anything you would not immediately expect to become public knowledge simply by writing about topic(s).
- ghaff 7mo agoIn the US at least owning a residence is public record. It can be obfuscated with shell companies and things like that but most people don’t do.
