    1. not everyone else’s info is publicly available. I can’t just look up where you live.
    2. the doxxing itself isn’t what OP warns about, but acting with the information in a dangerous manner

      1. Yes it is, and yes you can! The best sources are hidden behind clunky and/or paywalled government sites. Collators like https://www.peoplefinders.com/ then exist to provide a bit better access to that information. For a price. In the US If you pay taxes or own property that’s all public information for us normal people.

      2. Inaction has been shown to be more dangerous. For those kids too.
