“…Based on their study, the authors concluded that given the internet's decentralised nature, it is difficult (if not impossible) to control the effects of this practice (ibid.). Online public shaming operates autonomously under decentralised and dispersed principles that make it deeply problematic since it is not possible to control the outcome (therefore, it is usually disproportionated); it tends to disrespect people's privacy (as it involves personal information), and thus it may easily become doxing since personal information can be used to harass, intimidate or blackmail the targets (Billingham and Parr, 2020;Eckert and Metzger-Riftkin, 2020).…”

This research investigates the political practices of online public shaming ( funa) with regard to gender violence in Chile and their ability to trigger feminist social change. The central argument is that funa, as a feminist practice, offers a problematic pathway to social change, which, despite contributing to denaturalising violence against women, does not address the structural causes of gender violence. Online public shaming, as a feminist practice and strategy for change, triggers critical moral and social dilemmas, generating a questionable feminist transformation. The research explores those dilemmas, presenting the advances and setbacks of this practice in current feminist movements globally and in Chile. It contributes to the reflection on feminist movements in terms of their ability to trigger social change.

“…Doxing refers to the public exposure of private documents and information without consent and with the intent to humiliate, harass, intimidate, punish and/or blackmail targets, or condemn certain actions and ideas (Carty & Reynoso Barron, 2019; Eveleth, 2015; Fish & Follis, 2016; Eckert & Metzger-Riftkin, 2020). Trottier (2017) categorizes doxing along several axes, including: doxer, target, and/or law enforcement.…”

In Hong Kong’s social unrest of 2019, protesters adopted a variety of strategies to express their demands, including demonstrations on the street, political consumerism, and vandalizing stores of retailers perceived to be ideologically opposed to the movement, among others. When the Hong Kong government began to more forcefully suppress and monitor the protest, data became a contentious object as well as a weapon in the repertoire of political struggle. Taking the protesters’ collective initiative of doxing the policemen and their families as an example, this article examines protesters’ engagement with data during the 2019 Hong Kong Anti-ELAB Movement. Specifically, we explore how movement participants adapted doxing practices in response to shifts in the political opportunity structure namely the passage of the National Security Law 2020 (NSL). This article investigates how the discourses, targets, strategies, and sentiments within the doxing changed following the introduction of the NSL. It also discusses the meanings and challenges of data activism and the contentious nature of doxing under different political opportunity structures.

Disclosing personal information significantly increases the likelihood of incidents of cyberbullying. This highlights the significance of investigating the relationships between various stakeholders in cyberbullying incidents. Our objective is to gain insight into the roles of the stakeholders, types, and typical paths of personal information in cyberbullying incidents. To achieve this, we conducted a large-scale survey with a representative sample of internet users from the United States and Nigeria (N = 1555). Our findings indicate that cyberbullying is often fueled by personal information that becomes known, directly or through social media, to other stakeholders. Cyberbullying incidents involve more than just attackers and victims; they can involve other stakeholders as third-parties 'disclosers' Both strangers and friends typically engage in such activities. Cyberbullying incidents are twice as common in Nigeria as in the United States. Our findings have implications for design, social-media literacy programs, and policy.
