This is why I don’t use my real name on the internet, nor do I post selfies.

Correct me if I’m wrong but this isn’t doxing? It’s pulling already public info and not sharing it with the world.

Doxing is usually gathering already public info, but I agree if it’s not shared it’s not doxing.

I never understood doxxing laws. All the people do is compile publicly available data. How is it illegal in some places?

It’s because you’re gathering data to encourage others to use it for nefarious purposes. It’s not just innocently looking up their email or whatever.

Can the doxxing tech be used to ID law enforcement officers? A lot of them are assholes and bullies knowing their IDs will [be] protected by state and corporate interests.

And police in the US are more than eager to use facial recognition and ALPR services to bypass our fourth amendment protections.

This is kind of the ironic catch of surveillance technology. There’s way less people in positions of power and authority that the tech can be used to surveil. Honestly the bourgeois is better far not advancing it and just using old fashioned violent coercion.

Take a photo of a cop, upload it to the website, and find out.
Report back.
