I read it as "If you don't want to be harassed, you shouldn't have a public presence."

FWIW, immediately before that sentence, the thread-starter called into question the real danger of doxxing and calls to "action" based on the released information/misinformation.




> "If you don't want to be harassed, you shouldn't have a public presence."

I did not at all mean that. What I meant was that doxxing is a complex attack surface. If someone is already high-profile and public, they can't really be dox'd. If someone isn't, then staying anonymous is a more harder task than avoiding being dox'd. That's all I was saying.

If anything, I think that people who choose not to be anonymous need more social / political support, not less.
