Don't get me wrong. Their is no room for bigotry and racism, but at the same time. Why waste hours hunting and trolling to get people fired from their jobs for what they say online. Yes free speech has consequences, but can we think if that person doxxed has kids or takes care of elderly as a financial caregiver to family. What is this count coming to.

If you post hatred or racism on social media, activists are watching, and may tell your boss | Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Absolutely terrifying what this country is becoming. I can’t believe the Democrats’ response to the election is to make Trump look more reasonable by comparison. As stupid as his Twitter feed is, it pales next to these people. And they somehow think they have the high ground.

True words, these.

I try to do the same. I had been off of FB for almost a year, but I miss seeing pictures of family and keeping up with old HG classmates.

You know, what Facebook/social media was originally intended for.

I think that's petty going after people for the bigotry in their hearts. They are individuals who don't have a platform. It's the clear bigotry/white nationalism promoted by the Trump administration that cannot be tolerated. They are trying to change this country to something it is not and has never been.

Placing some extreme or inflammatory rhetoric on social media is not very smart because it can be used against you in the future. The same goes for drunken naked party time photos where you are passed out on the floor.

These type of posts are not becoming.



It is crazy that these activists are watching. Don't they have better things to do? Who is paying them?

My advice for anyone to avoid getting doxed is to use VPN so no one can pinpoint your location. Two don't use LinkedIn. Just recently Pro-Black Youtuber Tariq Nasheed used LinkedIn to Dox an Asian woman who was rude to a black woman at an Atlanta rooftop lounge over a seat. He shared the information with the black female victim who contacted Porsche the employer of the Asian woman who was rude and the Asian woman was fired. Contact information sites such as Spokeo to have your data removed. Keep Facebook to your friends and family. All of such will help you mitigated the chances of being doxed, and having your livelihood ruined.
