Let me briefly explain what Doxxing is for better understanding. Doxxing is a means of publishing someone’s real life information on the Internet without his/her consent. Because of this, it comes in different means. It can be publishing of address, someone’s identification, phone number, picture and even name. It might seem trivial but Doxxing is very problematic when taking into account to online revelation of someone’s legal documents. It is very common in social media platforms. Most of these platforms have put laws in place to ensure Doxxing is not a common practice but there are still some limits.
Elon Musk took to his platform X talking about this practice and how it is problematic. He did so replying to popular X influencer KanekoaTheGreat who was in a heated argument with another popular X user. Musk revealed doxxing which includes the revealing of names will result in account suspension.
Musk replying to Jason emphasized on why they take real name doxxing very seriously. He said many people might lose their jobs if they posted with their real names and it come lead to much worse and I’m honestly not surprised considering its X we’re talking about in this case. Compared to other platforms, X users have a certain freedom when speaking out on what they like or not.
This has been an issue on the platform for a long time even before Elon purchased and rebranded it. X or Twitter has been silent about this issue for years now but I hope this will change as the owner of the platform now is calling out this problem. X recognizes doxxing as a problem. In fact X has put rules and regulations in place against Doxxing which can be seen when reading its policies. The real issue here is most doxxing reports are usually rejected for various safety reasons. Maybe after Musk’s statement, it will become better.
