    If the democrat victory carries over into action, watch Delon Husk (and google, amazon, openAI etc) become a progressive faster than the blink of an eye.

      “think of the children!!!”

      Really… Everyone, including those children, are suffering because of these people. A gentle “doxxing” (what is public available information for every other individual) as a warning is nothing compared to the harms they inflict daily.

        1. not everyone else’s info is publicly available. I can’t just look up where you live.
        2. the doxxing itself isn’t what OP warns about, but acting with the information in a dangerous manner

          1. Yes it is, and yes you can! The best sources are hidden behind clunky and/or paywalled government sites. Collators like https://www.peoplefinders.com/ then exist to provide a bit better access to that information. For a price. In the US If you pay taxes or own property that’s all public information for us normal people.

          2. Inaction has been shown to be more dangerous. For those kids too.

    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.

    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.

      Every trade that exceedes 1 Million should have one neutral agent™ that approves the trade.

      For every new Million a new agent should be around to Approved the trade.

      No Person can have the same neutral agent twice in their Trading.

      Trade volume is saved for a years and if traders exceed their Million in a years the last trade needs to be supervised

      Etc.

    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.

    Alright just do it already you dorks. I’m waiting. It’s not like doxing these people are going to do anything and you are likely to get arrested and beaten up and tortured by police if you dare protest at their houses. Honestly if you do plan on doing something at least burn down these places and do some real damage. Break some windows and put down some tags. Make it unvaluable as possible. It’s probably the only real asset they have that can’t be easily replaced without pulling out a loan out of their insane networth anyway.
