when registering the domain LibsofTikTok.us last October, she used her full name and cellphone number linked to her real estate salesperson contact information.
On Saturday, software developer Travis Brown (who is working on a project with support from Prototype Fund, an organization that backs open-source projects) unearthed the account’s Twitter history and posted a thread detailing information about its profile changes.
When a reporter called the phone number registered to Raichik’s real estate profile and LibofTikTok.us, the woman who answered hung up after the reporter identified herself as calling from The Washington Post. A woman at the address listed to Raichik’s name in Los Angeles declined to identify herself. On Monday night, a tweet from Glenn Greenwald confirmed the house that was visited belonged to Raichik’s family.
It is not "doxxing" to take note of and/or repeat information a person has made publicly available. If I were ever dumb enough to post my name and address here, it wouldn't be "doxxing" for someone to say "hey guess what everybody, [name] posts as Mr Person on this website Debatepolitics.com
On the other hand, if you hacked DP and was able to identify me with information I used to sign up and announced "hey everybody, Mr Person is [name] and lives at [address]", that
would be doxxing.
Don't give out personal information if you want a given account to remain anonymous.
