Doxing

Had a few conversations on the subject recently that held a few points

1- Is mob justice bad? Like when Necroplant Doxed staff and then got doxed himself he got some pizzas and such. But was it even unfair? The guy had a massive detrimental impact to tens of thousands of people (literally) and after his info was known he got some pizzas and a dildo mailed to him. While I wouldn't have given a shit if he got his ass kicked was that really bad?

2- Necroplant got Doxed after he doxed other people. If your willing to cross that line and peel back the anonymity of the internet is it then acceptable for the same to be done to you? There is a totally justifiable fear of repercussions that comes with being doxed but after you cross that line is it acceptable for others to cross it against you?

3- Why is Doxing acceptable when its done by institutions? Right now I could pick a person and buy their marketing info from data brokers; from their search history's to their spending patterns. Nobody batts an eye at google selling your stuffs but when a person does it its somehow its a huge violation of privacy. Whats the difference?

Rambling thoughts

This isn't about Necroplant. He is just an excellent example that a conversation about generated the first 2 interesting questions on the subject.

I thought the conversation on Doxing was interesting and the ethical considerations of 'how far is too far' or 'when is it ok' or 'why is it ok for a corporation but not an individual' would make for an interesting conversation.

Doxxing is okay if the other party consents.

This means that they are not under the influence of anything that my affect their opinion such as violence, drug induced effects, or blackmail.
