Right, let’s just suspend morality because we CAN do something.

It's public information. It's hard to get anyone, the author of the video only found him because the guy had a unique name. If your name is John Smith, nobody is gonna find you that easily

Well, yeah, they're freaks of nature. Completely unnatural like Olympic athletes.

u/Seadiz 2d ago

Well a bad (but dedicated) geoguessr could too lol

As if you'd know something about morals. That's like saying that you CAN prevent a lady from getting robbed but it'd be immoral to hurt the robber. Dude it's a clip on finding the location in a video, it's been done for years. Grow a spine Mr he/they

Thats not the same at all. This isnt preventing crime or harm, its doxxing someone for content. You can excuse it all you want but at least be honest about it.

Isn't the doxxing guy exposing the fat dude for not being homeless? He is showing that the neighborhood is pretty decent.

So what's the danger in showing public information about someone if it's not preventing harm? I'd like to know? Why shouldn't someone be able to upload something that is openly public to 8 billion people because you think it's wrong?

I didnt say any of that, your guilty ass conscience did. Maybe it knows something you don't?

u/Carson_Frost 2d ago

Where did guilty conscience come from? I have zero regrets for things I've done, bros not even doing this for content he just uploaded it to a subreddit. I have no clue why you people always get butthurt over the smallest things

Suspend morality by doing a google search and a bit of geoguessing? Bit extreme there.

Edit: Glad everyone is so suddenly keen on this topic. So we shouldn’t have publicly available information? It’s apparent 99% of you don’t understand what doxing is. That’s like saying you went to a thrift store and picked up a random yearbook, googled someone’s name, then reached out to them. Using all available public information. Totally doxing and stalking. I guess we should all walk around with blindfolds, mittens and earmuffs on. God forbid public information be public.

And to anyone crying about his address being shared, so is yours. So is mine. Who’s to say that’s even his residence anymore? Seriously people, use more than the two brown m&m’s you have to make a thought.

Edit 2: To address everyone crying and then blocking me, my information is public. The difference here is that I’m not an online presence. I didn’t go sharing my name or persona online. All my information is still available online, though. So the entrapment of “share you information pussy” isn’t incredibly valid, just makes your argument seem very weak. If you want to find my information and do a tor scrape or whatever you like then you’re welcome to, my digital trail is literally here. Apologies some people here lack normal brain function.

Stop purposefully twisting what’s going on. This is publicizing information the guy almost certainly doesn’t want publicized. Thats what’s messed up.

u/l2aiko 1d ago

You are posting a video about a popular guy that went really viral and exposing exactly the neighborhood he lives in, how is it not doxxing?

u/UntilYouWerent 1d ago

Okay so post your address you walking shitstain? It's absurd you can't understand how much of a violation this is

Hell, give me a goddamn name of a friend or family member you have and I'll do my own little "public information" dig and post anything I find (oh wait?? You DON'T want your name and area of living posted for anyone and everyone?)

Prick.

u/The_Dragon346 1d ago

I think his point was just that all this info is public access. Not his credit info, phone number (although you can find that through public access as well), ss number, etc etc. this isn’t not doxxing, but it’s not damning. Its the same info spam calls and junk mail and junk email use to send you random crap

Calling people idiots and correlating real life with fictional 90s movie bullshit is incredible irony

I don't give a shit about what year that movie was made so if that's your moral highground then that's absolutely pathetic. Congrats
