    Doxing is a terrorist threat…?

    Edit: Downvote me if you want, but I legitimately don’t understand. Is there a joke im missing…?

      Yes, it’s a terrorist threat. The point of the threat is to scare Wikipedia editors away from editing the site so they can fill it with their propoganda.

        I vaguely remember republicans calling folks terrorists that doxed people for pushing nazi propaganda. Everyone was clowning on them then.

          When someone is dangerous, like one who spouts Nazi propoganda, I can see a reason for them to be doxxed. But that’s not the case here. China wants to send the reds after the people who write factual information on Wikipedia pages they don’t like.

          If they do that, Wikipedia is going to die because nobody wants to be assaulted for a volunteer gig.

            Yeah, but that’s not really what im talking about. If doxing is terrorism, then doxing is terrorism. If it isn’t then it isn’t. “Rules for thee but not for me” doesn’t really fly outside of circlejerks.

              Left wing murderers aim for the rich, right wing murderers aim for the people. Show me the left wing serial killer aiming for fox news indoctrinated neonazis, and we might feel differently.
