I'm sure this line works well with doxx'ing victims.

Public servants? It’s the line the government uses to justify dragnet mass surveillance.

No harm in knowing who is working for you.

Agreed. But I don't see how that justifies your original comment.

The original comment is clearly an expression of schadenfreude.

It's the line that folks on a certain side of the political divide (typically aligned with DHS) tend to bring out whenever we talk about the harms of surveillance.

Do those doxxed victims have significant power over an average person?

With great power comes greater responsibilities

Yeah Spiderman is such an influence over real life.

The whole epitome of this thread is that my enemies got doxx'd and so now I shall jump through dozens of logical hoops in order to justify it.

Oh, also, if you're not happy with this, you obviously must agree with everything they are doing.

> If those employees didn't do anything wrong, they have nothing to worry about.

That's the line I responded to, in case you didn't read it.

That is the line govt uses/used to justify mass surveillance. OP is just flipping the table?
