Seriously, what is dox’ing?

Today a sub and a user got a global under the auspices of dox’ing. I saw her pictures. But guess what! I same them on her sub the first time, I just typed her name into bing ....

OMFG!!! I just dox’ed her.

Top hit! The first link on the first page.

I’m gonna link to it because the mind crime Nazis will say I dox’ed her too.

So, is posting a picture of public persona that puts up her Picture on Twitter that is reposted here a dox?

Let’s consider another case.

Ok, so let’s get into what a real dox is:

1. Get a user from voat

2. Type in their username

3. Only alts pop up

4. Do some more digging and get a name associate via another site.

5. Pass that person’s real name and address onto another user(s).

This is a real dox.

Is making public of an alt of an alt a dox?

Personally I don’t think so.

Any other scenarios?

So, if posting pictures of a public twitter account that has the same alt as the one her on voat a global ban situation, what shall we do if a person were to track down a user and exposes their real name and address?

Is this a situation for global ban or not?
