It's all over twitter lately, people getting recorded ripping down posters with a graphic about the missing Israeli children and then their real names are found and are quickly fired from their jobs.

After reading the Jon Ronson book "So you've been publicly shamed" where he interviewed a load of people that were outed for both bigger and smaller 'crimes', no, I don't agree with it. Doxxing and other public shaming can have consequences you could not expect.

Plus, what if you get the ID wrong and dox someone innocent? That happens all the time too.

Anyone else remember when the reddit hive mind mis-identified the Boston bomber?
