"Doxing" in 2025

[ZipDisk]

An attempt to get rid of reddit nigger downvoting is a good thing, Prokhor.

 

[ForTheHoard]

What kind of legislation is this supposed to circumvent? Is the word "dox" going to be outlawed, or the act of republishing someone's name/address/number?

Will we get a courtroom drama where the low confidence attorney busts into the room at the 11th hour and objects?

"Your honor! You're about to put these men in prison for d*xing and they've done nothing if the sort!"

*slams gavel* "I DEMAND ORDER IN MY COURTROOM! Now, son. You've got 1 minute to explain this outrageous interruption or I'm going to have you locked up for contempt!"

*3 minutes of dramatic jump cuts over a montage of people pouring over piles of law books and the lawyer passionately making his argument to the judge while Huey Lewis', "Workin' For A Livin'" plays."

"...which brings me to my final point. These innocent farmers weren't d*xing... they were...

*slams print-out if this thread on the bench*

DEUNANONIMIZERING!"

*The court bursts into applause and celebration while LFJ starts seething and fighting with his lawyer*

"In light of this new evidence, I have no other choice than to dismiss these charges with prejudice, and I order the bailiff to imprison LFJ in the crystal for 4,000 years. Get him out of my courtroom!"

*the gavel slams one last time as the already celebrating courtroom throws their hats into the air in unison. A mob of naked Swedish models storms the courtroom and carry Hardin out on their shoulders while singing, "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow." Josh looks back at the camera and shrugs his shoulders as the screen freeze frames. An 80's rap beat starts as the screen fades to the credits and the lyrics are about how the good guys always win."

I think I'll go with "documenting" or "archiving", as appropriate. I especially like the former since I used to see SJWs and proto-SJWs use it a lot back in the day for basically the exact same thing the Farms do now, so I enjoy the irony of being able to throw it back in their faces.

Unhood? Uncloak? Or maybe going back to our roots and using a CWCism?

 

[Private Tag Reporter]

I want to submit for kiwi consideration 'colling', short for collating, or 'oscoll' short for open-source collation, since what Kiwifarms does is essentially collating open source information.

My suggestion for replacement term: Cardpulling.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pull%20a%20card

It's a 90's slang term that's fallen out of use. It can have many meanings, but it has something to do with uncovering information about someone or exposing someone as a faker. I think it can easily be repurposed.

Instead of saying "I'm going to dox you", say "I'm gonna pull you card"

"I just doxed you" = "I just pulled your card"

"I just got doxed" = "I just had my card pulled"

Basically sums the situation up. Trying to rebrand doxing (you can't) as something else doesn't change any of the legal issues. You're still posting the same information and the law doesn't care if you put SWIM or In Minecraft at the start of a confession post. You are still doxing people and giving the left more power over the words you're allowed to use to try and dodge legal responsibility that you can't avoid with word games.

Using made up words sounds fake and gay. Doxxing comes from posting documents. So why not an already existing term like attributing or crediting? E.g. “The Null account has been credited to Joshua Moon”.

• Phonebooking.
• Unmasking. *
• Journalism. **
• Deanonymize / Deanon
• Infodump / Infodumping
• Sunshining.
• Exposing.
• Receipts.
• Deets. * per shawnphase
• 411.

These all sound mostly contrived and unnatural. But you had it in the first part of your post.

b. Searching / archiving public information and reposting it.

We're archivists/archiving. If we're discovering something new from that, perhaps researchers/researching. These are both generic, neutral terms that describe well without any negative connotations.

Others seem to agree.

I think simply “archive” is the best alternative and accurately reflects the purpose of this website. Also works in that it can be both used as a noun and verb.

FWIW I like Archiving.

It's a commonly used term here already. It's storing disparate available information in one place. Somebody's archive is the result of them being archived.

I'm just going to use info or archive or something like that. I don't talk about that stuff much anyways. This will always be a cat and mouse game anyways. But that is the state of things.

Just call it "research," since that's what it is most of the time.

'colling', short for collating, or 'oscoll'

Very INGSOC ARBCOM.

What do you think about dossier for the noun? It's not a euphemism, if you think of a spy movie a dossier will generally have the person's full name and address if they are available.
Also, there's the "I'm going to farm that guy" and "I farmed that guy", but it is silly. Goes along with dossier well. "I'm going to farm that guy" becomes "I farmed that guy and posted his dossier." after you complete the action.

It's an elegant word! Slick.

But verb-wise I'm still a fan of removing any implication of trying to do something "to" someone. The starting point itt is that doxing has become associated with negative, even illegal, activity. So my thinking is keep it accurate and neutral from the start.

Farming is nicely attached to the site, but most farmer activity is just being here and observing, and making that the term of art still suggests that kf'ers are doing something ...sketchy as a matter of course. If it's all legal (or we want to distinguish between what's cool/ legal (regardless of what some people think about it) and what's dirty or too far [contact, interference, etc.]), I like a neutral term. It implies a baseline legitimacy.

I get that a lot of people want a cool and unique term, but I think that can grow out of a neutral term over time, yet remain surface-wise uncontroversial.

Eta: "archiving" is far broader than doxing, and they shouldn't be conflated.

You literally let African scammers steal your inheritance and you’re whining about idiots laughing about you on obscure forums. Grow up.

hardly, pedophile who projects his fantasies at me. the complaint is about the things you and your angry adult autistic army do all over the web to me and the people i contact that is what the complaint is about, you insane failed tranny.

I really like phonebooking. It sounds like scrapbooking but for insane people like myself.
