What If Liberal Journalists Decided To Dox You For Thoughts On Social Media They Don’t Like

Weasel Zippers
So far I have only seen this done by liberals. Conservatives, let's keep it that way. Although it seems very tempting to "DOX" someone who has done that to others. TD

"It happened to a woman on Twitter who had 220,000 followers. Was very supportive of Trump and critical of Islamic extremism. Because the Huff Po decided they didn’t like what she said they hunted her down, doxxed her, went to her husband’s job and got him fired, named her brother and where his family’s business was, all to sic a social media mob on her. Extremely scary and troubling stuff. Yet they still see nothing wrong with it and the Huff Po supports the reporter.

Via Fox News:

Doxing is bad, just ask journalists who … do doxing. Wired describes doxing as “the distribution of someone’s personal information across the internet against their will.” It’s become an awful tool of online combat. It can result in threats and job loss. It’s been used by extremists of almost every political stripe.

Lately, it’s become a tool of so-called journalism. The Daily Beast used it to target the daughters of conservative Pamela Geller. This time it was used both by and against HuffPost staff. Reporter Luke O’Brien went digging into the woman behind a popular Twitter account with about 220,000 followers.

O’Brien’s subsequent article didn’t just attack the author of the account. It went after her family. Here’s the unsubtle headline: “Trump’s Loudest Anti-Muslim Twitter Troll Is A Shady Vegan Married To An (Ousted) WWE Exec.” Only at the time he wasn’t “ousted.” . . .

The story mentioned the woman’s husband who worked for pro wrestling’s WWE by name. O’Brien didn’t stop at targeting the man’s wife. He went after the man’s employer, asking for comment about the Twitter account.
