What is Doxxing? When a person is "doxed", all their personal information is made available for all users to see. Names, addresses, phone numbers and school/work are not spared.

Why is this important? The ends don't justify the means. It's important to note that we all use internet identities for a reason. 99% of people don't do it for any illegal purposes. Would you want your personal information put out there, on a major magazine's website? Remember that this street works both ways. If we allow doxxing of those whose behavior is reprehensible, but legal, then all of us are at risk should someone dislike what we have to say or what we're doing.

Please join me in telling Gawker and its sister sites that we don't approve of doxxing.
