[Air-L] I've just written about the doxing of the Charlottesville marchers

[David Brake]

Dear all,

Inspired by recent events, I have put out a scholarly-ish blog post here http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/mediapolicyproject/2017/08/18/the-dangers-of-doxing-and-the-implications-for-media-regulation/ <http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/mediapolicyproject/2017/08/18/the-dangers-of-doxing-and-the-implications-for-media-regulation/> giving three reasons why doxing is toxic (yes, even doxing folks who look like nazis) and suggesting how policy-makers might tackle it. I hope you find it interesting and maybe useful for teaching in the upcoming year.

As the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation says in HHGTTG “Share and Enjoy”!
