Why Doxxing Is Different
19th December 2022
The special nature of doxxing is not that hard a concept to comprehend. But the same people who shriek “Words are violence!” when the subject matter is “mere words,” and who demand “safety” from the expression of thoughts they don’t like, fail to acknowledge that doxxing is qualitatively different. Doxxing informs the reader, “Here’s where this person you hate is located at the moment,” or “Here’s where this person you hate lives,” or “Here’s where this person’s child can be found right now or very soon.”
There is no innocent reason for real-time doxxing. Its purpose is to assist the reader in harming a person or that person’s family or property in the real 3-dimensional world rather that just to hurt that person’s feelings in the virtual world. It’s about physical space in real time or in future time.
Exactly so.
