I appreciate your intake on this, and maybe we can find a common ground on this. But at this point the one that has power to put all of this to rest is @srayzie.

She has the power on whether this ends now or not. I hope she does use it wisely for I would see this ban as dangerous defeat to what Voat represents.

Regarding your question mark I make the same argument, any post done from twitter, screencap of personal accounts of other people including President Trump for that matter can be considered as doxxing under that logic.

I don't agree with it. If the pics were on public domain they do not infer a doxxing otherwise the posts that @antiliberalsociety has done on @TexasVet would also infer said behavior and their not because they users themselves linked them and are on the web. They are material that can't be use for profiteering we can agree on that but they can't be considered doxxing of any kind.

Not exactly @sguevar and @kevdude. The difference here is that srayzie asked that it be taken down. I believe under the DMCA, that mandates @PuttitOut remove it. Under that logic, since srayzie asked Triggly to remove the content and she refused, that then put Triggly in violation of the law Putt has to abide by. I could be wrong about that.

I believe there are additional circumstances at play, here, as well, if @Srayzie linked to that prior to the incident involving NeonRevolt several months ago where several different accounts were posting messages all over various social media asking for help doxing her. They also threatened to rape her in front of her kids.

I am pretty sure the DMCA considers the creator of the images to retain copyright and recognizes their legal right to request sites remove their images, text, music and any other content they created...whether they posted it or not.

Perhaps @cynabuns knows more about how DMCA requirements might apply, here.

This is actually a Twitter issue since they have bing and google access and srayzie pops as the number 1 hit!

She didn’t DMCA twitter, google or bing did she?

I don't know. All I'm saying is, asking for her copyrighted material to be removed probably activated the DMCA.

You first must obtain said copyright. From what I understand, links to 3rd party accounts were posted, that she herself controls. If it was creating such a problem, she could easily remove the content herself. Voat never hosted said content.

Voat never hosted said content.

Not true. The moment Trigglypuff copied @srayzie's pics to her new Voat sub, Voat hosted the pics.

@PuttItOut was obliged to take them down per DMCA when @srayzie requested it.

If Trigglypuff had linked to @srayzie's Twitter, or one of @srayzie's tweets with her thumbnail pic, that would have been a different matter.

@PuttItOut might want to consider adding a clause to the Voat User Agreement that copypasting somenone's pic from social media is not allowed (as opposed to merely linking to it), or something along the line. That would clarify the matter.

Currently a bunch of people who are not part of the harassing gang seem to be genuinely confused why publicly available info like Twitter pics constitute doxxing.

Maybe Putt could do a new sticky. ;-)

I expect he will before too much longer. It's interesting seeing people playing internet lawyer and defending someone who was attempting to use her free speech in an effort to silence someone else's. Given the context of the situation that is exactly what was happening irregardless of the intent.

This is what the Voat User Agreement says -

"Keep Personal Information Off Voat: You agree to not post anyone's sensitive personal information that relates to that person's real world or online identity."

Based on the term above, you could argue that the pic were 'sensitive personal information relating to @srayzie's online identity' (on Twitter).

Imo it just needs to be clarified.
