Doxing (also spelled doxxing) is the criminal practice of releasing private or sensitive information about someone online for the purposes of harassment, intimidation and/or malicious intent.
Liberals and leftists use doxing as a means of attempting to harass, coerce, intimidate and threaten conservatives who say or support anything that liberals do not like,[1] and invariably do so because they consider conservatives who speak against what liberals support or favor to be threats to them. Doxing, when done for the above-noted purposes, is illegal and those who get caught engaging in the practice have been sent to prison for privacy violation and violation of other federal laws.
Prominent examples of doxing by liberals
- Jackson Cosco, once a staff member for Democrat congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and New Hampshire senator Maggie Hassan, was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of taking restricted personal information and making it public, and one count each for computer fraud, witness tampering and obstruction of justice for doxing Republican Congress members who supported the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court.[2]
