When is it doxxing?

But here’s the hypothetical I would present to journalists and bloggers: We know from the public record that Oregon State Rep. Farrah Chaichi is the sponsor of the bill that essentially gives homeless people property rights over public spaces. That leads one to wonder if any of these homeless encampments are near Chaichi’s residence.

Aye, there’s the rub. I am not suggesting to anyone that they locate her residence and publicize it. But would it be “doxxing?” I have no doubt that if someone were to post her address or a picture of her home, they would be accused of “inciting harm” or “inviting violence.” That’s not a statement without merit, although the left are historically famous for doing just that, especially to judges who issue rulings with which the cybermob disagree. And that same mob often punches down much lower than just judges: News commentators like Tucker Carlson who are targeted for vilification have had their families confronted at their homes by Antifa nuts and others on the far left …

Should Chaichi’s residential address be sussed out and published?

[The answer is easy, unfortunately. It’s doxxing when the Right does it. It’s holding power accountable when the Left does it. See also: Insurrection, versions (R) and (D). — Ed]
