This is beautiful!
I dont wish to steal the entire article, so if you want to read the whole thing, you can find it here: Anonymous is doxing KKK members (and I'm OK with it)
I thought this would be worthy of its own thread, as it might provide some interesting conversation.
Now, my beliefe is simple. The KKK does nothing but harm people, and I have no mercy on people like that. The author of that article believes that a line was crossed when anon spilled the location, phone number, and other information that was related to the KKK's members. I disagree, and fully hope that the internet gives these pricks the thrashing they deserve.
I am fully open to anyones opinion (this is the internet, and this is a forum after all...), so please feel free to express your opinion on this subject if you wish.
Can doxing be used for good? It seems like an odd question in a year when the prominent outing of personal details about women in gaming has become major news; of course we should oppose doxing! No one should be threatened with the release of personally identifying information! But that changes when the target of said outing is a booster of a major hate group: the KKK, an organization that has thrived in no small part because of its secretiveness. It's easy to make racialized threats from the comfort of a white hood, but the story changes when that hood comes off.
After tangling with Anonymous over a controversial and racist flier distributed in and around Saint Louis County in advance of anticipated protests surrounding a possible grand jury indictment over the Michael Brown shooting, the KKK got thoroughly spanked on Twitter when Anonymous seized control of the national account operated by the organization.
