Doesn’t “doxxing” refer to publicly linking a private/anonymous identity to a public one? It’s disingenuous to imply the congresswoman had a problem with “linking to a public web page.” She had a problem with linking to a public web page in the context of unmasking the anonymous identity of a US military member. The linkage, not the linking, is the doxxing.

I don’t agree with Luna here, and my exposure to this story is limited to what’s in the article. But I do agree with the GP comment regarding the lack of impartiality in this article.

It’s the military’s responsibility to protect the identity of their operators, by ensuring they don’t publish information that could lead to doxxing. If they miss something, that’s on them. And prosecuting a private citizen is a deflection of responsibility that ignores the risk of actual motivated attackers (e.g. Maduro loyalists) uncovering the same information, without publishing it to twitter, but using it to threaten or harm the doxxed victim.
