Handling personal information: Publication of personal information
[edit]"Doxing", or "outing", is usually described as the publication of personal information online, generally in order to intimidate or threaten. In some cases, this personal information is used to actively seek out and harass online users in real life. Real-life outcomes can involve someone unwelcome literally showing up at the target's door or place of employment. Unfortunately, doxing has become a common method to intimidate, harass, or punish people online.
