Eh I hate the dipshit but he has a point. its not really doxxing when he literally just googled it live.

If we apply that same theory to @ElonJet, then that wouldn't be doxxing either. Obviously Elon thinks otherwise. If @ElonJet is doxxing, then so is this.

never said that wasn't. basically the same thing.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that why he has been trying to ban ElonJet?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lol already talked about that elsewhere. yep its exactly the same thing. im not saying he isn't a hypocrite

Excuse me, this is the internet. You have to form a view on someone and then either agree or disagree with everything they do consistently otherwise it's illegal.

Lop yep. People are talking to me like I'm some kind of Fanboy when all I really said was maybe, this time, he didn't actually strangle a puppy.

Isn’t that a little bit of circular reasoning?

If I doxx someone online then it gets indexed by Google, if someone then Google’s the information it stops being doxxing?

I’d assume most doxxing isn’t done by someone who has unique firsthand knowledge (e.g. “Oh I know John, he lives on so and so road”) and instead is done by finding the information online whether via Google or a different public source.

At least in the US, where a ridiculous amount of private information is deemed “public”.

releasing the information versus acquiring the released information are two different thing.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Most doxxers don't technically release the information, rather they've acquired it and point others to where they've acquired it or simply disseminate it further.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

disseminate it further.

AKA release it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not really? Because, in your scenario, Musk would have to be the person to originally post his info. He didn't even have to go drop a few bucks on spokeo or something

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's what I'm saying. In most cases the doxxer isn't the one who originally provided the info, but rather someone who has found the information online via a Google search or something similar.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

and in most situations the person releasing the information isn't doxxing someone whos world famous and takes all of 4 seconds to find information on. usually when you hear about doxxing its...well...someone like you. hidden behind a anon nickname and some weird ass neckbeard digs and digs to find enough information to get your name and go from there.

Its quite a bit different when the person is one of the wealthiest and most powerful men on the planet and so much about him is just very basic known things.
