    Generally, I am anti-doxxing… but the billionaire class at the very least deserves loud protests outside their little enclaves.

      They have blood on their hands. Indirectly maybe, but there is a LOT of blood. They deserve much worse than protests

      Most of them are wealthy because they effectively mass scale doxx everyone to advertisers anyway.

      They hate shit like VPNs and places not using any linked ID info and online handles and shit. Anything providing any later of anonymity.

      Fuck these people.

        Totally correct.

        And the only reason we’re getting movement on spyware TV’s is because these bastards are affected by it.

      At least in this case “doxxing” could restore an asymmetry: Billionaires own the major internet platforms, they already know a good portion about a big number of people. It’s just not called doxxing.

    This is vigilantism. When the official authorities don’t seek justice, vigilantes often pop up. I may disagree with their methods, but I think the fault lies with these oligarchs for courting the injustice.

      Courting injustice? They’re literally bribing and propagandizing to the tune of billions of dollars a year to prop up injustice in this society. In favor of the wealthy class of course.

    A lot of stuff what billionaires are doing shouldn’t be swept under personal privacy.

    “Don’t bug me, it’s my own business how I spend my money”, some would say. For random people, that’s true. But when you command absurd amounts of wealth, maybe all of that stuff has consequences to the rest of the society.

    We demand transparency from people who have power over our lives, and oligarchs shouldn’t be an exception to that rule.

    This article alone will be reason enough for countless raids and stolen laptops and phones, but not from billionaires.

    Short sighted goals by people who don’t understand billionaires. What do they plan to accomplish with this? A billionaire could pay off someone’s $500,000 mortgage, their $30,000 car, pay off $50,000, give them $100,000 in cash and forget about it the next day. That’s $680,000 in a single day which would only be 0.06% of their wealth. Dox them all you want. They will alight about it when they exchange stories.

      Remind them that we can burn their house down with them inside or shoot them in the face. They’re just sacks of meat like anyone else.

      I feel like the implication here is obvious so I’m not sure what’s confusing to you about it.

      What the fuck do you think simping for billionaires will get you?

      This is class warfare. You will not be thanked or rewarded for what you are doing. They expect you to fall in line. If you actually care about your fellow humans and citizens, disabuse them of that notion.

      You sound like you’re jumping on a grenade for billionaires.

      Palantir, Flock, etc. For us, and here’s you mooing about letting billionaires have their privacy and space.

      Ya, we’re just gonna go ahead and sweep aside your nonsense.

      they can, the oligarch always used to push people away. forcing other people to do their bidding. by doxxing them it makes them feel vulnerable, annoyed or at very least hassled by it. thats the point.

      What does this mean though, are you suggesting a billionaire could just bribe someone to not doxx them?

      Society is collapsing and the planet is dying because of these fuckheads. Who cares about the fucking mortgage when it’s looking like Mad Max in 20 years.

        Okay, but what is real inconvenience for a billionaire? Some gossip? They can handle it. Does not change the system. A large-scale successful strike of their workers could hurt them more. Maybe juicy doxxing can nudge to workers turning against their billionaires?

      I’m with you. All this is doing, is sending them a warning. They’ll bump up their security & all this posting would be rendered useless.

      Luigi Mangioni didn’t send out warning posts.
