Do you support the media doxxing regular people because of their political opinions?

[Josie]

It all becomes clear.

That…….?

From what you’ve said, it sounds like you agree that private individuals shouldn’t be doxxed in the media.

He is living in Russian embassy after admitting to publishing classified information.

It’s beyond the pale.

You appear a bit confused.

Assange took refuge for 7 years in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London until kicked out in 2019.

Since then, he remains confined in Britain’s high-security Belmarch Prison.

Julian Assange is one major step closer to extradition to the U.S.

A British judge on Wednesday formally approved the extradition of Julian Assange to the United States to face spying charges. The case will now go to Britain's interior minister for a decision.

Wut?

You heard me. You're defending Chaya Raichik. That's her name. The one who was lobbing accusations and steering conservative outrage and HATEFUL legislation under the shield of anonymity.

 

[reinaert]

Is posting private addresses of regular people you disagree with ethical?

You're asking the wrong question(s).

Reporting reveals facts. Agreement or disagreement with the subject of those facts has precious little to do with whether they are or are not facts

 

[Lovebug]

Do conservatives consider Twitter to be the media? Again, getting back to the question in the OP.

Now we can dance a waltz around the ever moving goal post about a word or two out of place or ask ourselves if doxxing by whomever is acceptable?

 

[Blue Dog]

This is not a trick question.

NO one should be doxxing others over political opinions.

 

[Dans La Lune]

I don’t know. I’m not the one who brought him up. My poll is about regular ole people.

Don't fall for this, guys. Josie is plugged into the FeverNet.

I believe that a person who courts attention via TicTok by attacking others is not a non-famous, regular person. YMMV.

 

[Trippy Trekker]

What other intent would it be?

1. You posed a loaded question in your poll.
2. The word ”doxxing” connotes negative feelings.
3. I asked @tacomancer, not you.
4. Other intent, in my mind, includes quest for transparency and knowledge-based decision making.

 

[Josie]

You heard me. You're defending Chaya Raichik. That's her name. The one who was lobbing accusations and steering conservative outrage and HATEFUL legislation under the shield of anonymity.

I’m defending no one. I’m asking a general question about ethics in media. Is your answer to the poll question yes or sometimes?

 

[Dans La Lune]

It's called reporting.

What 'Libs of Tik Tok' was doing, by contrast, was called intimidation.

The person @Josie is defending with her false equivalency, I'm-Just-Asking-Questions shtick was trying to get LGBTQ teachers FIRED and endangering people with accusations of child sex trafficking.

 

[reinaert]

To be clear, journalists routinely publish information they've learned, including previously un- or little-known facts about persons, places and things.

Doxxing, on the other hand, is what (usually) anonymous parties do to other anonymous parties, usually to intimidate or expose.

Doxxing isn't journalism.

But that doesn't mean a reporter working under her own byline is doxxing someone simply because she publishes facts.

 

[Dans La Lune]

I’m defending no one. I’m asking a general question about ethics in media. Is your answer to the poll question yes or sometimes?

"I'm just asking questions..."

Explain how posting people’s private phone numbers and/or addresses is relevant.

 

[reinaert]

The person @Josie is defending with her false equivalency, I'm-Just-Asking-Questions shtick was trying to get LGBTQ teachers FIRED and endangering people with accusations of child sex trafficking.

Yep. Trying to intimidate from behind the stank of anonymity.

The reporter, on the other hand, published under her own byline.

 

[Josie]

Don't fall for this, guys. Josie is plugged into the FeverNet.

I have no idea what that is.

Do you have an answer to the poll question?

 

[Dans La Lune]

I have no idea what that is.

It's what you use to generate your dishonest poll questions.

Do you have an answer to the poll question?

Yeah, and I already posted it.

 

[Josie]

I believe that a person who courts attention via TicTok by attacking others is not a non-famous, regular person. YMMV.

What makes anyone who posts on social media not a private person anymore?

 

[reinaert]

Explain how posting people’s private phone numbers and/or addresses is relevant.

Phone numbers are not private unless an end-user asks their actual owners (the telecomm providers) not to publish or make known, or, in the case of, say, Koch Industries, the users own their own separate trunks and switches.

 

[Josie]

It's what you use to generate your dishonest poll questions.

I use something I’ve never heard of to create my poll questions?

 

[CaughtInThe]

The point of this thread is not to get votes in the poll. The point of this thread is to make people think that the media is doing this routinely.

Pay attention to which suckers gobble it up.

 

[JMB802]

Why would you respond to my comment but completely ignore the content of it?

 

[Josie]

Phone numbers are not private unless an end-user asks their actual owners (the telecomm providers) not to publish or make known, or, in the case of, say, Koch Industries, the users own their own separate trunks and switches.

Ok. What’s your opinion on the media posting phone numbers and addresses of regular or even famous people?

 

[Dans La Lune]

I use something I’ve never heard of to create my poll questions?

That's right. You call it Libs of TikTok, 4Chan, 8Chan, or whichever Trumpian swamp you get your media from.

Revealing the identity of Libs of TikTok was entirely justified, and she wasn't just expressing a political opinion as YOUR POLL says.

Is posting private addresses of regular people you disagree with ethical?

Don't you have the courage to identify who you're talking about? I know conservatives are cowards, but it directly relates to what you're talking about.
