You sure this isn’t doxxing?

Edit tweet wasn’t deleted



Twitter has weird issues. Sometimes the tweets appear deleted, but a refresh shows it.

That user didn't post the name until other sources did, so not doxxing


Is “it’s ok, I heard it from another guy” not still doxxing? IDK, not sure what the rules here are.


Posting a link to some personal information about some person in the news is a stretch to call doxxing in the first place.

(I think it's reasonable to look at that Twitter thread as activist journalism)

Doxxing would be if you posted a picture to imgur and then posted a link to that picture along with personal information about a person depicted, or if you posted personal information about a user here or so (that wasn't already clearly public).
