If the info is not publicly available and the person is harmed, that is a crime.

What if you purposely doxx yourself.....You know like a trail of bread crumbs with a 12ga and a guy with a smile on his face at the end?

Agree. But it isn’t that simple.

What Musk called doxing regarding location is from publically available information. Likewise many addresses are as well. Something needs to be done though, but not sure what or how.

The sole purpose of doxxing, is to endanger the person being doxxed.

With Elon’s jet, the purpose was to embarrass him. He’s supposedly committed to saving the environment but uses a jet to get from one side of LA to the other.

Anyone starts pinging out the location of my family, and loved ones; there is pretty much nothing I wouldn't do, to inconvenience, or destroy that person...

That’s fine.

It’s just that Elon Musk takes an absolutist stand for free speech except when that speech endangers him.

When speech endangers others, or society, then he doesn’t give a damn.

Elon is special. Everyone else can go screw themselves.

You have the internet in front of you. Try researching the law for once instead of just slinging it.

The kid tracking Musk and others gets his data from here, anyone can get the exact same data.

In the old days, it was called defamation, slander, and libel.

If it is TRULY illegal, then ALL politicians would be in prison.
