it's not "doxxing" when they posted that photo themselves voluntarily. especially since there's no home address, work address, phone number, etc. they obviously want the world to know they're maga. and now the world does.
fuck them
It is doxxing when you grab a photo and then add information to it saying "these are the parents of the person you hate, go hate them too" and spread it to hundreds of people. And the only reason you don't see it is because you don't like the political party they support.
That is not, in fact, doxxing.
It is, and I have described why in two posts down this chain already with provided definitions.
couple things: a) you're free to try and change the definition of words to make them mean whatever you want them to mean, but no one else is obliged to follow your based-on-feelings definition. doxxing is defined as providing private information, of which this post has none. it is NOT doxxing, and you are the only one here who can't stand the fact that it's not
and b) you say "you don’t like the political party" as if maga-branded fascism deserves equal consideration as a valid stance on anything. again, you're free to think that, but you're not convincing anyone else.
and finally (again): fuck those asshole parents, fuck trump, and fuck trump voters
My definition of doxxing comes from wikipedia and is supported. People here think their opinion of what doxxing is, is real, despite no proof or actual definition. I already went through the definition and shown that this is indeed doxxing. Want to read it, here

And yes, this post contains private information. It contains the information of "these are this guys parents" which would only be known to the select few neighbors at best. Furthermore, it contains information about their political beliefs. So yes, it absolutely is doxxing with the intention of shaming the parents. The info doesn't need to be completely private and hidden - aggregating info from public databases or facebook counts as well.

it looks like you have a lot of angry letters to write regarding all these news outlets "doxxing" those poor innocent fascist assholes
get to work
Yup, so just proving further that law doesn't apply to people you don't like.
“these are this guys parents”
nope. that's not "private" information. they posted that photo on their own, and however OP found out it was the parents, was publicly posted as well. it's NOT doxxing, no matter how blue in the face you make yourself insisting that it is.
the post is fine, because it's not doxxing.
Literal quote from the wikipedia article I linked. It. Is. Doxxing.
lol not to say wikipedia is always wrong, but you shouldn't be basing your arguments on [citation needed] definitions
let's go with the actual definition:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/doxxing
: to publicly identify or publish private information about (someone) especially as a form of punishment or revenge
no private information. not doxxing
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/doxing
the action of finding or publishing private information about someone on the internet without their permission, especially in a way that reveals their name, address, etc.:
no private information. not doxxing
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-life-hacks/privacy-and-safety/what-is-doxing
When someone is doxed, their personal or private information is released into the world
no private information. not doxxing
look dude. it's not doxxing, and you're not going to somehow turn it into doxxing in this thread. but by all means waste your whole day on it. i'm done
not doxxing
Definition from oxford languages, search for and publish private or IDENTIFYING information about an individual, typically with malicious intent.
You are literally arguing semantics on something that is obviously doxxing because you don't like the fact that someone got doxxed that you don't like. For every definition that doesn't specifically say "identifiable" information, there are three that do. But by all means, you go out and find the ones that let you sleep at night. I'm done with having a "world battle" over something that's despicable behavior.
Just block the person and move on with your day.
