The DOGE engineers are government employees, right? We normally know names, etc of government employees, so they weren't doxxed.
This is different: the person in question isn't a government employee. It's also pretty clearly done to intimidate the judge, which is really not good.
You also left out that doxxing someone, anyone is bad. All you're doing here is saying that DOGE and Musk don't have any moral agency, they can't hold themselves to morality, all they can do is respond, tit for tat.
> Elon Musk Accused of Doxxing After Reposting Judge John McConnell’s Daughter’s Job on X
For re-posting a post that has a screenshot of a public linkedin profile?
I'm not a fan of trying to ruin lives over petty political disputes but this is hardly "doxxing." Does that word even mean anything anymore? Just the other week people were saying the "DOGE kids" were "doxxed" and it was the same thing. Posting a public linkedin profile.
Does the linked in profile mean "can't be doxed because you're otherwise online" or something?
That doesn't make sense to me. This person who is otherwise unknown and uninvolved in a court case is now subject to the typical internet rabble, that seems like some type of doxing.
Don't forget the daughter's financial disclosure form, but the daughter's specific occupation as a "senior policy advisor" in the Department of Education might require her financial disclosures to be public [1].
> Public disclosure is required of "senior officials in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government to ... [report] their finances as well as other interests outside the Government."
"Official" is kind of a big deal. Are policy advisors (as opposed to people who can both write policy and vote on passing it) considered officials?
It is dubious to use the term doxxing to describe this judge's daughter's situation, but Elon Musk has a hypocritical attitude toward the posting of public LinkedIn profiles (in the case of the DOGE "kids") and already-public information about a private jet.
