Over the last few days, we've seen an increase in content in several communities that violate Reddit Rules. Reddit communities are places for civil discussion and are one of the few places online where people can exchange ideas and perspectives. We want to ensure that they continue to be a place for healthy debate no matter the topic. Debate and dissent are welcome on Redditβthreats and doxing are not.
When we identify communities experiencing an increase in rule-violating content, we are taking the following steps as needed:
Reaching out to moderators to ensure they have the support they need, including turning on safety cowtools, reminding mods of our rules, or offering additional moderation support
Adding a popup to remind users before visiting that subreddit of Reddit's Rules
In some cases, placing a temporary ban on the community for 72 hours to enable us to engage with moderation teams and review and remove violating content
Currently /r/WhitePeopleTwitter is under a temporary ban. This means that you will not be able to access this community during this cooling-off period while we work with the mods to ensure it is a safe place for discussion.
We will continue to monitor and reach out to communities experiencing a surge in violative content and will take the necessary actions noted above to ensure all communities can provide a safe environment for healthy conversation.

To be fair I'm not really sure what constitutes doxxing / witch-hunting nowadays, but I'm pretty sure leftoids would consider it doxxing if like pro-Palestine student activsts were being called out with this level of hostility. The naming of these people and discussion of their social media accounts is being done so that people can dig into them further and find ways to harass them and everyone knows this.
What is that leftoid quote again? "When you're used to privilege, equality feels like oppression"? Something like that, and it probably applies here - having "personal callout" posts on private citizens hit the front page of the site is a bad look.

I think in most of the world doxxing is legal unless it's done with clear malicious intention, which can pretty much only be proven if you outright state "hey guys my ex's house is here, might want to throw a bomb in there nudge nudge
"
But recently normies stopped caring about internet security and forced social media to protect them instead by making doxxing against the rules, this lead a lot of people to believe it's actaully a crime. Which will probably lead to it becoming a crime
Not a lawyer though

It's not a crime but also that was decided back when police would arrest people for showing up at your house, and you could just shoot them if they got threatening. I think the reaction to doxxing these days is downstream of a breakdown in conduct and trust in authority.

Yeah i'm guessing they have ways to make certain cases of doxxing illegal, when they want to
