A meme was posted to c/[email protected] with a partial picture of a driver’s licence. The Lemmy users in the comments proceeded to post all the identifying information they could get from the license, including gender, date of birth, and zip code of the person’s home. The meme is probably reposted and so this isn’t doxxing the Lemmy OP, but that’s what the users in the comments seem to think they’re doing.
Collecting and disseminating someone’s personal information is doxxing even if that information could be found anyway with enough time and knowledge.
There was also Acropalypse, a bug in a default image editor on Google Pixels which let you undo crops of screenshots. That must be fixed by now, but it’s still something to be aware of. You need to be certain that your edit truly removes the information from the file.
That’s a 10/10 name.
