Honestly, I was kind of surprised to see a comment like this here.

I would think in a country where mass shootings occur every single day it might be understandable why this kind of doxxing is so alarming.

Shockingly, I am not from the one place on earth where mass shootings are a common occurrence.

Also, what doxxing? this is a response to an article about Harvard students discovering that employers don’t appreciate employees critical of the system.

Glad to hear it. No joke. Your opinion makes slightly more sense given that added context.

Doxxing is leaking someone's personal information, usually to paint a target on their back so they suffer some kind of repercussions for a perceived slight. You see, these college kids didn't just get a threat of blacklisting, the Israeli lobby paid advertising trucks to drive around displaying their pictures and personal contact information. They could very well be killed.

Ah that’s certainly something much different.
