Iβm not pro-dox (unless theyβve earned it, like Bardfinn), but unless someone lives in California, and doesnβt plan to visit there, couldnβt you just tell CA to get fricked?

And then you donβt show up and the judge automatically awards $1m against you and now you have to be a wage cuck for the next 200 years

Interesting! And if course it comes from California. Thanks for dropping that knowledge, sweaty

except heβs wrong, itβs not illegal at all. Itβs illegal in conjunction with threats. Seems less ridiculous!

how does KiwiFarms still exist then?
That law requires posting said information and βIndividuals must post this information without the consent of the alleged victim to face criminal charges. They also have to carry out this act while intending to:
Make the alleged victim fear for their or their familyβs safety Cause the alleged victim harassment or injuryβ
Which we are not doing. So this clearly doesnβt apply.
Harassment without doxxing is also illegal btw

Letβs say I violated this CA law, by doxxing some p-do commie. Given that CA loves pedos and commies, they decide to charge me. So fricking what? I live on the opposite coast, in a state that the majority openly despises CA. Itβs just a state law, it only applies to people living in or visiting that state. Big deal. Frick CA. Isnβt Kiwifarms based in Florida? Frick those CA kitties.

The only reason to dox someone is to frick with them IRL or invite others do so. Sure, nothing will likely happen, but there's plenty of crazies out there who think swatting, stalking, etc. is socially acceptable behavior

Yeah, I think the doxing is shitty and shouldnβt be allowed here, but would rdrama really be held culpable?

No, but Aevann and Co. don't want to risk it.

Yeah and also doxxing crosses into the realm of irl bullying and actually hurting people instead of just pissing them off on the internet.

As a user, I don't care because it's extremely unlikely. If the reasons are good, then I see no problem with trolling someone's Linkedin and letting their employer know about whatever crazy shit they do online. As an admin/owner, I wouldn't want to risk dealing with the legal costs and/or getting rdrama shut down (unless people want to pitch in for an attorney, doubtful).

Do people actually get prosecuted for doxxing? It seems to happen constantly with no repercussion.

In 2021, a dramanaut was asked what it felt like to dox people. He replied: "I wouldn't know, I've only ever doxxed journ*lists."

It's more about getting sued. Null gets sued all the time and while he wins. It's still a huge money/time drain.

no it doesnβt what?
To be precise it can lead to ungrounded legal harassment, like spamming cases that will fail certainly, a la KiwiFarms but there are no actual precedents to take it down, otherwise Kiwi wouldnβt exist

There's nothing illegal about link aggregation. Slander and libel is, however.
