The Exigent Duality

I went to a private, Catholic elementary school for nine years-- K-12-- from the late-1980s to the mid-1990s. The school is still in business (thriving, seemingly), and has a web site. If you click on the "Staff" page for the parish, you get a large color picture of the principal-- my kindergarten teacher from 1987, incidentally-- along with her full professional contact information. If I were to post her picture and name on my blog, and say "here is the principal of school XYZ", that is not "doxxing". The word "doxxing" means "to publicly identify or publish private information about (someone)...". If I were to post her picture, along with her home street address and personal cellphone number which I'd dug up by cracking her computer, that would be "doxxing".

Fast forward then to a pair of "the Twatter" account lockings: first "Zero Hedge", and now James O'Keefe. In the former case, "Zero Hedge" posted a link to the "about" page of the clinic which may have created "the coronavirus", which contained the public information of the institution's lead scientist-- so, identical to me linking to the 100% public-facing "about" page of my old school. Same thing in the second instance: James O'Keefe published the names of the two men his team caught in undercover interviews, both of which are on Sanders-related campaign web sites. Neither of those cases are "doxxing", any more than Eric Ciaramella has a right to have no one on planet Earth say his name.

The fact that "the Twatter" is now locking accounts for posting public facts, and in a totally one-sided manner to boot-- just read the above-linked article for lots of double standard examples-- shows how desperate they are to control the narrative, Soviet Union-style. Pretty soon they'll have algorithms "Photoshopping" people out of photographs. And all of this because the moderators at these companies get angry: trust me, I've worked with people like that before-- "I get so f'ing mad at stuff like this!" Then you hand them a button allowing them to lock people's accounts with a mouse click, and...
