Isn’t that a little bit of circular reasoning?

If I doxx someone online then it gets indexed by Google, if someone then Google’s the information it stops being doxxing?

I’d assume most doxxing isn’t done by someone who has unique firsthand knowledge (e.g. “Oh I know John, he lives on so and so road”) and instead is done by finding the information online whether via Google or a different public source.

At least in the US, where a ridiculous amount of private information is deemed “public”.

releasing the information versus acquiring the released information are two different thing.

Most doxxers don't technically release the information, rather they've acquired it and point others to where they've acquired it or simply disseminate it further.

disseminate it further.

AKA release it.

Not really? Because, in your scenario, Musk would have to be the person to originally post his info. He didn't even have to go drop a few bucks on spokeo or something

[–] lazyvar@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's what I'm saying. In most cases the doxxer isn't the one who originally provided the info, but rather someone who has found the information online via a Google search or something similar.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

and in most situations the person releasing the information isn't doxxing someone whos world famous and takes all of 4 seconds to find information on. usually when you hear about doxxing its...well...someone like you. hidden behind a anon nickname and some weird ass neckbeard digs and digs to find enough information to get your name and go from there.

Its quite a bit different when the person is one of the wealthiest and most powerful men on the planet and so much about him is just very basic known things.
