Corporations are not people and should not have any rights to public space or resources, that includes publicly available information. We don’t put things in the commons to be pilfered by private interests, we can’t have a commons when they can pilfer them. But here we are.
Now, to be clear, doxxing someone is completely indefensible and dangerous because it puts real people in physical danger.
Fuck that. This guy deserves to be doxed and deserves every potential outcome of being doxed.
To be guillotined would be more mercy than he is owed.
big tech CEOs are not people. they are rats.
Nah. They are human. To deny that is to deny that which makes a person stoop so low as to become a CEO (rhyme initially not intended but damnit I’ll still take credit for it)
Plus, I respect rats too much to demean them like that
Rats are good people
This is dehumanization. It is the tool of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it.

If you dehumanize persons, you aren’t a leftist or revolutionary or the resistance or an activist. You are a fascist.
You are a fascist.
whatever. so be it. those persons have lost their humanity. they are doing anything to the detriment of the common people, for the sake of it. we well get nowhere until they can continue what they are doing, guaranteed. no, that’s not even true, we are literally going backwards to the dark ages.
Nah, dehumanizing actual fascists is okay.
Ok, I see your point but in a fascist society, what else can you do to stop him? Harsh language? A lawsuit you can’t afford?
Oh, violence, even lethal violence might be necessary in defense of self or others. But, we must not deny that we are dealing with persons. I’m not even saying don’t dox the guy, I’m saying that don’t forget that you are doxing a person.
The focus should be on rehabilitating the person and remediating any harm they have caused, not on returning harm with harm. Of course, if they are being violent or legitimately threatening violence, defensive violence SHOULD be taken to contain/control/remove the threat.
Violating his privacy might be a good lesson in how “we should balance privacy and safety” as part of his rehabilitation, but we can do that without dehumanization.
Agreed. And as @[email protected] have said, it is important to realise and remain vigilant that humans can be capable of great harm, and that we ourselves are not immune if we’re not carefully with ourselves. Otherwise we might ourselves becomes grown complacent and reproduce those harms on others in some form or another.
Now, to be clear, doxxing someone is completely indefensible and dangerous because it puts real people in physical danger. But the irony here is thick.
Hmmmm. Putting nazis in physical danger is very defensible i think.
I just like the idea that knowing where he lives in some way puts him in more danger than he already was before. Anyone who really wanted him dead would already has this information.
So basically him being docxed is just about telling everyone where he lives. He doesn’t want that because it’ll result in protesters turning up on his lawn but his life is not in any more danger.
He has nothing to fear if he has done nothing wrong. That’s what he and his supporters say, right?
They have family, innocent kids, that’s where it’s fucked up
So do LGBT+ people but they don’t lose sleep at night. Anyway, it’s the alt right that targets and rapes children.
Set up cameras around his house, not pointing directly at his house. Then make some software to guess when he is home or not and what vehicle he left in. Then sell that data to anyone for a cent. Include wi-fi and bluetooth tracking too.
Nah man, we gotta get the cameras RIGHT in his house. What if someone gets in we couldn’t see from the outside?
That’s true. He is on record stating that safety is more important than privacy. I’m sure he won’t mind.
Their CEO, Garrett Langley, went on Fox News recently and argued that […] we all just need to accept a “compromise” between privacy and safety.
I’m struck by what a giant load of bullshit this is and how Flock (and copycat companies like Axion) are just facilitating the sort of police state that would be required to make something like Project 2025 possible.
“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
— The U.S.’s own kite-flyin’, not slave fuckin’ (wrong guy, sorry!), $100 dollar bill havin’ Bennie F.Ben Franklin was very progressive for his time. He owned a few slaves early in his life, but soon freed them and spent the rest of his life as one of that time period’s most outspoken critics of slavery. He even bought a printing press so he could spread anti-slavery rhetoric more effectively.
You have internet, there’s no excuse for being wrong unless you just like spreading misinformation.
Oh, shoot, you’re right. I had just woken up. I was thinking of Jefferson.
Damnit. Thank you for pointing that out.
Fuck around, Find out!
Flock around, find out
Oh no! This guy is in danger! We should set up a ton of security cameras around his house so we can all keep an eye on him and make sure he’s safe!
Does this community permit doxxing in this type of circumstance?
They broke the social contract, for me it should be.
