Did this happen? A person who is a ham radio operator being doxxed because they were a ham radio operator? Or was it a person using ham radio to promote extremist viewpoints getting doxxed?


I haven't checked if it's happened before, but doxxing is trivial. You can look up anyone's name and address using their callsign on the FCC website:

Obviously we ban accounts that post things like "you turnip", so please don't.

Are the last two words in your comment really necessary?


Right, I was continuing the analogy.

One example of a community being labeled as right-wing extremists (or worse) is Gab.ai. Another Example is Zerohedge's comment section.

Was anyone doxxed for using these platforms? I don't know. I do know those platforms have been deplatformed.

There seems to be a concerted effort to label Facebook a place where extremists gather, lots of people virtue signaling about how they're not using Facebook because it's so toxic and full of Nazis. It's only a matter of time until it's a sin just for using Facebook.
