This isn't really the view of the (completely random-ass mostly Doctor Who scholar) who got called in for a quote, and I think her logic is pretty solid.pic.twitter.com/Ssn0oL4yUN
There is literally nothing in that exchange that indicates that the reporter was hostile to the subject. It does indicate that there was a new news peg because Scott had published his post about being "doxxed." (Ron Howard voiceover: he was not doxxed.)
He was doxxed and lol if that's your standard, "let's find some idiot for a negative quote because I'm mad he's mad about the doxxing"
His name was public. And Google-able. That he did not put it directly on his posts is irrelevant. It was public and easy to find, unless Google is too complex for you. By any reasonable definition, that is not doxxing.
I'm sorry but that is a shocking, ghoulish justification for doxxing, Jesus Christ, are you serious? Whatever non compelling mental gymnastics you produce to insist it doesn't matter, if someone *asks* not to not use their real name, the *decent thing* is not to, it's that simple
Also worth noting that Gawker was basically the organization with the first major internet doxx (though maybe it wasn't a doxx, I never googled him beforehand) of admittedly a Reddit troll in 2012. Could be a baseline thing.
Adrian Chen's "doxing" of violentacrez wasn't because he was a "troll", it's because he was the co-creator/moderator of multiple Reddit subs founded on technically-legal invasion of privacy that Reddit refused to take down ("censor")
Chen commented about the grotesque irony of this, that r/Creepshots was a community *founded* on the casual invasion of privacy for sexual gratification (surreptitiously using a phone to photograph women in public spaces caught in suggestive poses)
It was, of course, not illegal in the United States, based on the same aggressive interpretation of photography as a form of free expression that enables actual celebrity paparazzi to be a thriving industry But then, neither was finding out Michael Brutsch's name and posting it
Chen wrote at the time about how he felt his hand was forced by the absurd ethical inversion of Reddit's hypocrisy Brutsch's ID - which was a fairly easily discoverable "open secret" among his online friends - was sacrosanct simply *because he was a Reddit user*
Reddit's admins and corporate leadership thought the rule against "doxing users" was ironclad and *nothing else was* The women on Creepshots weren't (known to be) Reddit users, so they weren't people but "content", the ethic became "Don't like the content for subscribe"
Chen wrote at length about how he struggled with this decision - it "felt wrong" for him at first too - but ultimately it's an absurd taboo Protecting Brutsch's privacy at the expense of hundreds of women's isn't the law and it isn't anyone's idea of "ethics" outside of Reddit
The fact that this incident still looms so large - Reddit had the gall to ban Chen but not Brutsch over this, and people still defend that and call Gawker a "doxing ring" over it - tells you how absurdly narcissistic and tunnel visioned "freeze peach" culture is
