hey i have a question related to the doxxing thread
but it's locked so i'm gonna ask here
is it considering doxxing to leak PMs
e.g. someone tells me in a PM that their dog died or something
and i end up saying that in a public chat
DragonWhale - Today at 9:48 AM
doxxing implies leaking info that identifies a person
saying someone's dog died doesn't really do that

Yeah that’s not the best example, now if someone gave you their phone number via PM and you post it in a public chat then yeah that’s doxxing

so what counts as identification
is it just age, gender, location, etc.
or does this extend to the person's traits
Nex - Today at 9:54 AM
phone number, addresses, etc
Lavos - Today at 9:54 AM
ok
Nex - Today at 9:54 AM
photographs
Lavos - Today at 9:54 AM
so it's information unique to them

Like me saying EG is pasty af with a mustache is not doxxing him
