The Doxing Dilemma: Seeking a Remedy for the Malicious Publication of Personal Information

Julia MacAllister - 85 Fordham L. Rev. 2451 (4/17)

Abstract
In recent years, malevolent actors have seized upon a new tool to harass, silence, threaten, and injure people online: doxing—the malicious publication of personal identifying information like a home address. Although doxing is an online tool, it causes concrete and serious harm to victims by moving harassment from the Internet to the physical world. Congress and state legislatures have begun to address different forms of cyberharassment. However, no effective and consistent legal remedy for doxing currently exists. This Note examines and critiques current federal and state schemes, and it ultimately proposes that lower federal courts should adopt a new intent standard to make the federal Interstate Communications Statute more applicable to doxing and that states can and should criminalize malicious doxing.

The solution is to not react to it. They doxx people to inflict social repercussions and to threaten people with physical violence. The social repercussions are in our control. Stop acting on these tactics. If your employee gets doxxed for some speech, just ignore it unless he brings something you don't want into the workplace. Just ignore it.

As far the physical threats.. if somebody doxxes another, publishing their address, and makes statements to the effect that somebody should harm or harass them, then the responses have to be more sophisticated.

It occurs to me that the people who engage in this kind of behavior are acutely aware of the impact of shame because they are themselves shameful human beings. These leftists project in most everything. When they decide somebody needs to be publicly shamed, you can bet they themselves have skeletons in their closets.

For instance, a lot of these male feminists who virtue signal on the internet and attack other men for not falling into line with feminism are themselves rapists and sexual assaulters. This isn't an isolated phenomenon. It's a pretty solid pattern at this point.

The leftists who label themselves "anti-fascists" are actually the most fascistic crowd in America right now. Everything they accuse the right of doing is what they themselves do: Using violent rhetoric to incite violence against others, actually inflicting physical harm on innocent people, racism, etc.

It seems to me that the people who are apt to do this type of shit could be countered in the same fashion. A good portion of the doxxers are themselves probably criminal or degenerate fucks who, if exposed, would be ruined in the way they want others to be ruined.
