    lol not to say wikipedia is always wrong, but you shouldn’t be basing your arguments on [citation needed] definitions

    let’s go with the actual definition:

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/doxxing

    : to publicly identify or publish private information about (someone) especially as a form of punishment or revenge

    no private information. not doxxing

    https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/doxing

    the action of finding or publishing private information about someone on the internet without their permission, especially in a way that reveals their name, address, etc.:

    no private information. not doxxing

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-life-hacks/privacy-and-safety/what-is-doxing

    When someone is doxed, their personal or private information is released into the world

    no private information. not doxxing

    look dude. it’s not doxxing, and you’re not going to somehow turn it into doxxing in this thread. but by all means waste your whole day on it. i’m done

    not doxxing

      Definition from oxford languages, search for and publish private or IDENTIFYING information about an individual, typically with malicious intent.

      You are literally arguing semantics on something that is obviously doxxing because you don’t like the fact that someone got doxxed that you don’t like. For every definition that doesn’t specifically say “identifiable” information, there are three that do. But by all means, you go out and find the ones that let you sleep at night. I’m done with having a “world battle” over something that’s despicable behavior.
