       | 
       | Uploading "the details" of an online group is not doxxing. It is
       | an unhelpfully broad superset of interpretations that include
       | anything from inside jokes to someone's cellphone number. Doxxing
       | means what it always has - posting someone's physical location or
       | credentials that lead to that information. This is a perversion
       | of the term.
