"Doxing" in 2025

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
In seriousness, the John Denver joke will get old for me quickly, I'd like to make the case for calling it "taking the liberty" in honor of my favorite Hitchcock movie that was not made by Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Donen's 1963 classic starring Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant- "Charade."

They are investigating the suspicious death of a wealthy man in Paris:

Reggie (reading letter from husband): ……P.S. Your dentist called yesterday. Your appointment has been changed.

Insp. Grandpierre: We took the liberty of calling your dentist. We thought, perhaps, we would learn something.

Reggie: Did you?

Insp. Grandpierre: Yes. Your appointment has been changed.

I take the liberty of calling a lot of dentists, as it were. That is, I look at easily accessible information and I cross-reference it with other legally obtainable, easily accessible information to try to make a more complete picture. Therefore I intend to make this fetch happen and will exhaust every effort to ascertain that it catches on. Once I get tired of annoying the people around me by singing "sunshine on my shoulders" I will change my custom title, formerly "doxhund" to "liberty taker."
 
If you don't want to go funny and original, the most neutral and inoffensive word for a collection of obscure public information on a specific individual is "file". The drawback is obvious (that's already a word! I know, rigtt?) BUT seems to not matter that much in the context of cow discussion.

Archive is already used a lot to mean a specific action (saving currently public, possibly highly prominent, info to proof against deletion). The operative distinction is very few people can doxxxx well, but everyone should archive.

Deanonymization and derivatives don't quite work because the nastiest cows go by their legal names, and there are collations of info on them, too.


Thinking to moonspeak, a troll (in boomerspeak English) is a "fisher". But fishing is a crime, this won't do. A pileon is a "festival". Doxxxxxxing is "bleaching", which has the wrong connotation in English.

There's a proverb which goes,
天網恢恢疎にして漏らさず
(exp) (proverb) heaven's net has large meshes, but nothing escapes
天網 tenmou is "heaven's net".
Incidentally, 電網 denmou is "interwebs".
Therefore, I suggest doxxed -> "netted" and dox -> "catch". Possibly still too close to fishing.

Mmm, forwanwan. I would totally forwanwan my frenenemies. They'll get forwanwan'd to the ashes and get free (and delicious) chinese takeout food. Forwanwan forevah!

PS: do not send delicious chinese takeout food without their explicit consent. I don't cosign forwanwaning for nefarious purposes.
 
Unmasking or Sun shining sound the best since the troons and blueskytards use those terms to justify doxing

"Sunshining" seems similar to phrases used by actual activists so I'd prefer if that term didn't become associated with harassing unemployed retards. We use it to refer to harassing Senators and billionaires.

This is exactly why I think coming up with an acronym that comes out to pie would be funny. Imagine a tranny on twitter being like "fuck Kiwifarms, they've pie'd me"

I dig "sunshining", has that Florida flair to it.

Realistically, "de-anonymization" is a less wild sounding term.
 
I propose "Cornseeding"

Seeding their info for future corn harvest. Also you can say Cornsneeding. and its hilarious.
