“…An integrated NWB definition connects to the social debate on actual themes. These themes, such as Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, or Doxing, include no mutually excluding behaviors but a wide range of complementary and co-current physical, psychological, material, sociocultural, and digital NWBs (Snyder et al, 2017 ; Holroyd-Leduc and Straus, 2018 ; Chen et al, 2019 ; West et al, 2019 ). If the debate about mutually exclusive labels among researchers continues, the scientific community may miss the connection with the social debate.…”

A Systematic Review of Negative Work Behavior: Toward an Integrated Definition

2021

The objective of this systematic review was to identify the overlapping and unique aspects of the operationalizations of negative work behaviors (NWBs) to specify a new integrative definition of NWB. More specifically, we examined (1) how many operationalizations and conceptualizations of NWB can be identified, (2) whether these operationalizations can be categorized into facets, i. e., the nature of NWB, harm, actor types, and roles, with subcategories, (3) what the meaningful overlap in these operationalizations was, (4) whether the operationalizations tapped unique and meaningful elements, i.e., positive labels and dynamic processes, and (5) how the overlapping and unique elements of the operationalizations could be integrated into a new theory-based research model for NWB for future research. In the literature search based on the Prisma framework, Pubmed, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar, we identified k = 489 studies that met the inclusion criteria of our review. The results of these studies revealed 16 frequently studied NWB labels, e.g., bullying and aggression. Many of these could be categorized in the same way, namely, in terms of the type of behavior, type of harm, and type of actor involved in the NWB. In our new definition of NWB, we integrated the content of the overlapping and meaningful unique elements of the 16 labels.

“…When such identifying information is disclosed, doxing can easily lead to in-person harassment, stalking, and vilification. Despite the negative connotations of doxing, the same study showed the most common reason for doxing to be seeking justice against something that was seen to be immoral or unfair to a third party (68%), with doxing targets including both individuals who had allegedly cheated others in online forums and law enforcement officers (Snyder et al, 2017).…”

“…In a study of over 5,500 online text files associated with doxing, a group of US scholars found that more than 90% included the victim's address, 61% included a phone number, 53% included an e-mail address, and 51% included information on family members (Snyder, Doerfler, Kanich, & McCoy, 2017). When such identifying information is disclosed, doxing can easily lead to in-person harassment, stalking, and vilification.…”

Doxing and the Challenge to Legal Regulation: When Personal Data Become a Weapon

Doxing refers to the intentional public release by a third party of personal data without consent, often with the intent to humiliate, intimidate, harass, or punish the individual concerned. Intuitively, it is tempting to condemn doxing as a crude form of cyber violence that weaponizes personal data. When it is used as a strategy of resistance by the powerless to hold the powerful accountable, however, a more nuanced understanding is called for. This chapter focuses on the doxing phenomenon in Hong Kong, where doxing incidents against police officers and their family members have skyrocketed since 2019 (a 75-fold increase over 2018). It contends that doxing for political purposes is closely related to digital vigilantism, signifying a loss of confidence in the ruling authority and a yearning for an alternative form of justice. The chapter therefore argues that public interest should be recognized as a legal defense in doxing cases when those discharging or entrusted with public duty are the targets. Equally, it is important to confine the categories of personal data disclosed to information necessary to reveal the alleged wrongdoer or wrongdoing. Only in this way can a fair balance be struck between privacy, freedom of expression, and public interest.

“…In recent years, machine learning has been used to recognize forms of self-harm such as pro-eating disorder content in social media posts (Chancellor et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2017) and suicidal ideation (Burnan et al, 2015;Cao et al, 2019). Snyder et al (2017) developed an automated framework for detecting dox files, i.e. files which reveal personally identifiable data without consent, and measuring the frequency, content, targets, and effects of doxing on popular dox-posting sites.…”

The ability to recognize harmful content within online communities has come into focus for researchers, engineers and policy makers seeking to protect users from abuse. While the number of datasets aiming to capture forms of abuse has grown in recent years, the community has not standardized around how various harmful behaviors are defined, creating challenges for reliable moderation, modeling and evaluation. As a step towards attaining shared understanding of how online abuse may be modeled, we synthesize the most common types of abuse described by industry, policy, community and health experts into a unified typology of harmful content, with detailed criteria and exceptions for each type of abuse.
