"Doxing" in 2025

[Breadbassket]

If the issue is with state legislatures and law then there is potential for "dox" and its replacements being caught in a unending cat-and-mouse word game.

Reposting and compiling publicly available information is not a potential legal issue.

Correct, but the word 'doxing' has been transformed into a description of a specific crime (harassment). That's why I'm asking for the WORD to change but you can still post public information. I wrote this in the OP too!! I wrote like 5 paragraphs explaining this just for you!

How about "exposing"?

 

[Cryogonal2]

Whatever it is it's going to need a good noun form too. For example "I got [persons] dox" or "I found [persons] dox". A lot of the alternatives don't seem to have this.
I got their phonebook? - confusing as it could mean stealing their actual phonebook.
I got their sunshine? - what?
I got their unmask? - I understand this at least?

I would be interested to know what noun the troons use with unmasking. I also like the ironic quality of "taking back" a word from the troons since like most leftists they inherently corrupt language.

Vamping. "I've drawn blood" is way cooler than doxing.

I'm partial to using "giving them the ole white pages treatment."

Doxing is sarcastic terrorism.

and ornithologically evil

 

[Major Pain]

Call it NSA-ing or Homeland Security-ing and hope no one whistleblows.

An unending cat and mouse game like.. finding hosting? Finding ways around payment processing? Finding a domain name?

Shit nigger lets just give up and wait to get raped then, retard.

I suggest "GOOGLING."
Let's see them play with that one.

The word chosen has to play by their rules unfortunately. It has to sound like a good thing no matter how inaccurate it is. (Like "Pro-Choice" really means "Pro-Fetus Termination," Dictatorships continue to call themselves the "People's Republic of..." no matter how much of an authoritarian hellhole they are, and so on...)
Authoritarians love to mask terrible things with pleasant sounding words. Which is even mentioned in Orwell's 1984... but nobody ever seems to catch on.

 

[Netizennameless]

then talk about being a criminal somewhere else, are you fucking dumb?

I can both respect your wishes and call them stupid and be right. You didn't actually discourage the practice of whatever bullshit you want to call it, you just want us to use safer language just in case. It's retarded.

I'll still respect your wishes either way.

Receipts is what I first saw from Tumblr. They'd just straight xpost shit to Tumblr from KF and say "I got the receipts".

Unmasking. *

This is the one instance where I think co-opting their language is good. It would also make LFJ seethe.

 

[Forgot My Old Account :(]

Changing the sentence structure from "The farms doxxed retard" to "retard had an Opsec accident and the farms found it" would also be beneficial. It's really flawless.

 

[Godsent]

"Phonebooking" someone sounds fun because it makes me think of beating them with a phonebook and violence is heckin based.

Please take the time to re-read OP. This is explained in the first second. I love you and believe in you SO MUCH that I think you can totally 100% figure out what my point is!

I'm not saying one should give up and resign themselves, I'm saying that no matter what you use there will always eventually have to be a continuous cycle of replacements once a term becomes untenable to utilize legally.

How about the dossier? Sounds similar and I can still feel like a cool internet detective. "Exposing" makes me sound like a faggy drama Youtuber

 

[metroid_fetish_ii]

Words don't have meaning anymore so just call it rape.

Saar, I cannot read saar. Please help me! I cannot read saar!

Doesn't work too well when you need to use it as a noun, especially if plural. Same for Xpo, come to think of it.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Phonebooking is for boomers, fuck no

I think the world before Current Year should be brought back.

Though "phonebooking" seems sort of long or awkward-sounding.
