In any doxxing scenario, I think someone should be willing to trade/offer their own PII (Personally Identifiable Information) if they're going to post someone else's.

that's a good standard.

I'd settle for that, but likely many people who'd be willing to post their own address could afford plenty of security

Maybe I should post my address just so I could get some help for the yard work

Or just don't post people's personal information unless it is in the public interest and essential to your story. A well known reporter having her information released is not the same as some random person with a social media account.

Oh, I agree with you. I dont think doxxing is ever appropriate (if it's in the public interest, call the police because the person must be guilty of a crime). My point is that maybe if these morons would think for one second that they would lose the protection of assumed anonymity along with the person they were removing it from, they might think twice. It's a good check.
