For those interested in reading more about the subject, here's a post of mine from January:
The term "doxing" is not well defined, but is often used broadly to refer to publicly disclosing a person's name, photograph, address, phone number, employer name, and the like, in connection with some express or implied condemnation of the person. The concern is that such disclosure can instigate or facilitate violence or vandalism targeting the person, or the sending of threats, or the sending of insulting messages, or economic retaliation (often through the person's employer). Different states have different rules dealing with such matters, and they generally define "doxing" differently, both as to what information is covered, who is protected against such disclosure, what (if any) specific purposes on the discloser's part must be shown to lead to liability, and more.
