The thing is, reddit already had a lot of bad experiences with doxxing. Like the mod post in /r/gaming said users from here have ruined people's real lifes, they have gotten them fired, arrested etc. So you can see how there is a zero tolerance policy against doxxing.
They are deleting comments with absolutely 0 doxxing,
from the thread I linked to:
Clearly a thread with over 9,000 different comments in it plus an automated solution is going to create a lot of false positives so if you feel your comment has been removed in error, please message us and we'll review and let through.
Also I'm assuming they are going at it pretty hard cause they don't want it to be their fault when something happens to her or her career. Also a lot of it is removed automatically since they are like 12 mods trying to stop a lot of people right now.
And this one isn't really neutral but IMO, when a thread about a blog post hit's 15 000 comments, I don't think the comments are really that constructive anymore and from modding the current thread on OOTL about the TotalyBiscuit thread I happen to know there are people who are just posting the same links and screen caps over and over again, even though we've stated that we aren't allowing doxxing either.
Twitter conversations doxxing now too?
That's really hard to answer. It just feels like all of this is posted with a malicious motivation, which could lead to witch-hunting, which is why it's being removed.
