Seems to be a pattern

Definition from oxford languages, search for and publish private or IDENTIFYING information about an individual, typically with malicious intent.
You are literally arguing semantics on something that is obviously doxxing because you don't like the fact that someone got doxxed that you don't like. For every definition that doesn't specifically say "identifiable" information, there are three that do. But by all means, you go out and find the ones that let you sleep at night. I'm done with having a "world battle" over something that's despicable behavior.
Yup, so just proving further that law doesn't apply to people you don't like.
Historically, the term has been used to refer to both the aggregation of this information from public databases and social media websites (like Facebook), and the publication of previously private information obtained through criminal or otherwise fraudulent means
Literal quote from the wikipedia article I linked. It. Is. Doxxing.
It is, and I have described why in two posts down this chain already with provided definitions.
If you look at the account you replied to, it is made two weeks ago with the sole intention of swearing at people who disagree with them. They will not take your advice.
My definition of doxxing comes from wikipedia and is supported. People here think their opinion of what doxxing is, is real, despite no proof or actual definition. I already went through the definition and shown that this is indeed doxxing. Want to read it, here

And yes, this post contains private information. It contains the information of "these are this guys parents" which would only be known to the select few neighbors at best. Furthermore, it contains information about their political beliefs. So yes, it absolutely is doxxing with the intention of shaming the parents. The info doesn't need to be completely private and hidden - aggregating info from public databases or facebook counts as well.
You don't commit crimes against people because "they support maga". Otherwise what you are doing is legitimizing them committing crimes against you, because you aren't maga. Let the courts handle this, not public opinion, and defo not public opinion aimed at the parents of the perp.
You are not recalling it correctly.
You do realize that "doxxing" uses "free and open" information too, right?
It is not a "polak joke" in any way, but you do you.
Jesus christ, yes, there are no jalapenos in the pastry. Because there are wasps on it. Making it "spicy". What your post and the petulant "hint" glosses over is the fact that it is a professional bakery selling pastries, with Polish text on it, Polish currency and Polish units on it (szt). What it glosses over is the fact that had the text been in German, it would've been a German spicy pastry. Had it been in Greek, it would've been a Greek spicy pastry.
As I said, I have seen this EXACT thing hundreds of times in Poland, it isn't anything new and it isn't a "haha Polak so stoopid" joke.
So chill out and stop being outraged just to be outraged.
Ah yes so the best way to handle that is to doxx parents of a murderer because they are MAGA. That will show the government!
All you are doing is stooping down to their level and using their tactics against people who didn't have anything to do with the situation other than the fact of "they had a kid".
Off of wikipedia - it is an act of publically providing personally identifiable information about an individual without their consent
- There is their face - personally identifiable
- There is "these are the parents of a murderer" which is the additional information.
And if you read up on the article you will know that "aggregation from public databases and social media" counts too.
It may be carried out for reasons such as online shaming (...)
So yeah, this is 100% doxxing, so save me your "oh you don't know what it means" spiel.
It is doxxing when you grab a photo and then add information to it saying "these are the parents of the person you hate, go hate them too" and spread it to hundreds of people. And the only reason you don't see it is because you don't like the political party they support.
Okay, so?
Does that mean they shouldn't have protective orders out? What should they be doing, forcefully trying to insert themselves into a situation where they are in danger and the kid has shown multiple times he isn't interested / is actually threatening?
This to me makes it even more fucked up that their faces are being shown like this online.
You are putting their faces in the public to hundreds / thousands of people, telling them "go hate these people". Yes, it is doxxing. This will lead to crazies harassing them. You can also reverse image search them to directly find them.
There is no joke, the text is in Polish and this happens all the time in bakeries with sweet shit laid out like this. So you want it to be a "polak joke" when it isn't. This isn't someone being racist / nationalistic / making this about haha those stupid Poles, this is literally a bakery in Poland with wasps on it, which isn't uncommon to see.
Ah so it is okay to doxx people according to you
In psychology, you never diagnose people over the web, and you specifically never ever make assumptions about people who aren't your patient.
No, they didn't give consent to have their names and faces shown publicly to people like you who would shame them for the crime of having a kid that grew up and commited murder.
