    After reading the Jon Ronson book “So you’ve been publicly shamed” where he interviewed a load of people that were outed for both bigger and smaller ‘crimes’, no, I don’t agree with it. Doxxing and other public shaming can have consequences you could not expect.

    Plus, what if you get the ID wrong and dox someone innocent? That happens all the time too.

      Never before in history have minor disputes been able to be aired to millions of people over the internet. I think it makes the response a bit disproportionate.
