I stumbled on this news and started wondering if it's legal. It seems to me it shouldn't, since it's pretty much doxing. But I don't know at all.

Why do you think doxing is a crime? It's not. This isn't even doxing anyways.

You could try to make a case for slander, but from the article it sounds like any posts have to be backed up with legal documents.

Seems pretty reasonable to me.
