Should exposing catfish be considered doxxing ??
Imo it shouldn't.
There have been catfish making plans to meet other ******** in the upcoming months with no proof of who they are
To me this is serious red flags as they know exactly who they're looking for when the time comes and the other person is a sitting duck.
They could easily be taken or killed and nobody would know.
Please do not tell me it's far fetched bc there are several news articles involving this exact chat room/ site involving those exact things.

U all need to be careful on who u talk to and meet with.
I know I prob get on ur nerves by making sure u know ur talking to a catfish but really it's in ur best interest.

doxxing is exposing private information that would otherwise not be available publicly or readily accessible...so you can expose a catfish without doxxing them....

No. Doxing is the intention to maliciously release information online. The intention is what makes it doxing.

So does the availability of the information. If the information is readily available... Then regardless how malicious the intent... It's not doxxing. Inciting action to readily available information is just that, inciting, not doxxing.

You might want to look up doxing bud. If someone releases your information and it comes from online stalking or harassment, it is doxing.

Does not matter how public the information is.

i mean...by that logic...me "exposing" the fact that your current crush is Kim for the intent of maliciously mocking you would be doxxing...and as such...should i be banned, @Apollo ?
 
I'm just saying. A catfish in singles is dead set on saying she is who she is pretending to be and constantly begging others to meet her without proving she's said person.
That gives me the creeps and said person needs to be told prove it or stop begging to meet.
It's a kidnapping gut feeling.

No, not at all. You’re an idiot, lol.

nah...i'm just looking at what you said and applying it to the context of your profile about me content.

look...if you want to call anything related to releasing information, regardless of it's availability, as doxxing...then you're as nuanced as AV companies back in the early 2000s calling everything spyware....or like when people take their friend's phone from them and post a picture with the caption "hacked"...or when people use "text me" as an all encompassing phrase to message them...if the information is readily available and the intent is malicious...you could ignorantly call it doxxing...but what it really is is inciting malicious intent.

but go on...tell me more about the internet

This is very simple. ****** doxing, and any lawyer can push that narrative.

If youre an idiot like or @bread, and admitting to actively saving information online on users, that’s enough to press charges.

No, saying I like Kim K isn’t doxing. But emailing my GF and telling her over and over, or threading to is, and can fall into deeper charges.

saving information is not enough to press charges...in any country...acting malicious towards that person is bullying and or harrasement...again...not doxxing...i get that you have a personal...and what looks like a very emotional...connection to this sort of thing...but again...terminology and differentiating things is important...because not understanding those details could damage the intent of reporting things to the site and/or authorities.

…FYI..doing this…does nothing for your argument…

What you are now talking about is harassment.

Lol.

If you think at this point you wouldn’t be charged for doxing…

if i got the information by breaking into a system and stealing it...i'd get charged for breaking into a system...the information there by stolen would otherwise be inconsequential unless it were financial data

if i were to find information online...hit print...copy/paste....or screenshot...or scraped that data using a bot....there's nothing malicious or illegal about that...sighting your sources where that would be illegal would be a good way to disassociate your emotional responses here and fact...

Once you start using online as a medium, it’s doxing.

The laws have since evolved since 1 year ago, or more so recognize the extents of doxing.
 
i really don't know what you're talking about, tbh. this seems like a gross misunderstanding of practical and common sense law...like it said...intent makes a difference when storing data...but storing data alone is not illegal in Canada, US, UK, or EU...storing it for the purpose of malicious intent is not doxxing...it's harrasement...so again...your points are moot and invalid

😅 i literally work in this career field and have for over a decade been directly involved with this sort of thing...while indirectly for over two and a half decades

But using that info across borders is pretty easily…

Many things. …

Using it, depending on the classification and action, would likely fall into harassment. Again, not doxxing. And publishing already available information with a call to harm is incitement, not doxxing.
