I mean you can believe what you want but if you got doxxed somehow through your account and it put you, your friends, or your family in danger I think you'd be singing a different tune. That's all.
I just think that there's a public interest in knowing who DFV is. His actions are indisputably newsworthy and I think that uncovering the identity of people whose actions are newsworthy is a legitimate thing for journalists to do.

That's a risk that every one of us runs to varying degrees when we make noise online.
:cringe:
OK so then where's the line of who the media can report on and who they can't?
I would say if the person's found guilty of whatever they were accused of, if they've doxxed themselves, or I'd they're a public figure.
But I'm not media czar and this is pretty half baked.
Fair.

Yeah I mean this case specifically he doxxed himself. He did a interview with the WSJ and have his name & city so he's out there at this point.
I'm just speaking more of media in general.
