404 Media has an excellent track record and is very reputable, if you're saying the "red flag" applies to them.

Meh,they got their own agenda.

If the person or politics / group,they don't support then they have no problem just straight up making stuff up.

Like the hit piece of Elons Grok where it was "doxing" pornstars names,but in reality all it did was just search web online and got the info from the first website it could find.

But they made it seem like it was some hidden info that only Grok and Elon would know...

Sounds like you don’t understand doxing and may be overly sympathetic to a reactionary billionaire’s propaganda machine.

Doxing for the most part is simply aggregating publicly available information on an individual and broadcasting it to a wider audience. Rarely does it require more serious sleuthing or even “hacking”, although those are the more notorious instances because it involves someone who may have been trying to hide their identity for various reasons.

> don’t understand doxing

No, it's that people keep misusing that word for a broader and broader class of things. Pushing back on dilution of meaning isn't a lack of understanding.

		What’s the utility of narrow definition of doxing? It’s a form of harassment. Who benefits from a narrow definition, aside from harassers? I think we’re pretty far away from “falsely accused of doxing”. What’s it going to be? “I was just writing a research paper!”
