Doxxing is the practice of publishing someone’s personal information – for example, their home address, sexual orientation, or immigration status – without consent and in order to cause harm. Doxxing is a common online harassment tactic, and the experience of being doxxed can be immensely stressful and cause real world consequences. But it is possible to protect yourself and your community from doxxing by reducing what exploitable information is available about you. Alison Macrina, director of Library Freedom Project, will present this anti-doxxing training. You’ll learn about how and why doxxing happens, how to take steps to prevent your risk, and what to do if you’ve been doxxed.
