Ok, I see your point but in a fascist society, what else can you do to stop him? Harsh language? A lawsuit you can't afford?
Oh, violence, even lethal violence might be necessary in defense of self or others. But, we must not deny that we are dealing with persons. I'm not even saying don't dox the guy, I'm saying that don't forget that you are doxing a person.
The focus should be on rehabilitating the person and remediating any harm they have caused, not on returning harm with harm. Of course, if they are being violent or legitimately threatening violence, defensive violence SHOULD be taken to contain/control/remove the threat.
Violating his privacy might be a good lesson in how "we should balance privacy and safety" as part of his rehabilitation, but we can do that without dehumanization.
Agreed. And as @noxypaws@pawb.social have said, it is important to realise and remain vigilant that humans can be capable of great harm, and that we ourselves are not immune if we're not carefully with ourselves. Otherwise we might ourselves becomes grown complacent and reproduce those harms on others in some form or another.
