> 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!”
