Examples of this actually happening?
 
In a tweet on Monday night, Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX-20) published a list of 44 private citizens in his hometown of San Antonio, all of whom are donors to President Trump, that included their names and employers. Eleven of those on the target list are retirees. One woman is described as a 'homemaker.'

That right there should not happen.

Coming back to the OP, do you consider Castro to be the media?

What a whack job that guy is!
 
The question is way too generalized to produce a useful answer.

There’s a wide difference between like Julian Assange and some idiot spouting off an opinion on TikTok


Do you support the media posting the phone number address of Julian Assange? How about his family members phone numbers or addresses?

Thank you for telling me what this thread was about.
 
Would conservatives consider this an example of the media doxing regular people? Even though it was the school board who was going to release the names?

 
Do conservatives consider Twitter to be the media? Again, getting back to the question in the OP.
Let's just cut to the chase and say no one should be doxing anyone whether a person, place or thing.

The question would be related to the OP question… Should you be able to use social media to dox private individuals? Public individuals?
 
He's in prison.

OK? I’m sure his family members aren’t and he hasn’t been in prison for his entire life.
 
Do you support the media posting the phone number address of Julian Assange? How about his family members phone numbers or addresses?
For assange, yes

For his family, no
 
Where did you get an idea like that?

It’s not meant to be a question about a specific story. More of an overall question of ethics in media.
