We had BLM protests in my city. I’m all for the message behind it, but they smashed up mine and my husbands car windows. Should have taken advantage of the lax work from home policy and should have stayed home I guess? I’m no fan of the actual “organization” or the people behind it though, and it’s sad FB is actively censuring information.

Well, they've gone underground with many of their goals due to public outcry. You'll have to use archive.org to see their true goals for our society. They've pulled most of them off their website.

Hi Winston, I want to know something: when cops murder somebody do you make a comment about it on hn or social media or anywhere, or do you only make comments when car windows get smashed?

13% do 57%

What do those numbers mean?

Nobody disagree with the message: of course, all lives matter. Everyone is also fine with the peaceful protesting (I mean actual peaceful protesting, not CNN's meaning of peaceful, which already became a meme). Whoever seek to loot, destroy and coerce people into stupid acts needs to be condemned. BLM leaders didn't condemn the violence, which make the BLM movement just a bunch of terrorists, same as Antifa. It doesn…

Nice try Ben Shapiro.

No, doxxing is the release of private information. That's the universally understood meaning of the term, and the only useful one. If you want to redefine the term to pertain to public information, then the term is no longer useful. It's just "displaying public information" at that point.

"and the only useful one" Actually this is a useless definition, because what constitutes "private information" is exactly at issue

In exactly what way is information available in public government databases considered private. Please be specific.

Regardless of your definition of public, the word doxxing has never covered it. We have plenty of other language to refer to the sharing of publicly available information. The word doxxing was coined to give a name to a type of invasion of privacy that came to prominence with the rise of the Internet. If you want doxxing to just mean gossip, then your word no longer has a useful and distinct meaning.

Do wealthy or famous people use some kind of property management entity to hide their personal info in those records?

They use trusts, or if they really want to be private, they have their estate lawyer's firm buy it for them and be the owner of record.

Yeah, generally you have what’s called an Illinois Land Trust. I think every state but Louisiana now allows them.

The public record will say that the owner is “Trust #541341324132 with XYZ Bank/Title Co/Law Office”

If you want to know the real owner (“beneficiary”), you go to court and present the reasoning for wanting to know. If it’s a valid reason, the court will issue an order that you take over to XYZ Bank/Title Co/Law Office and they’ll give you that information.

Isn't part of the problem here that a lot of the BLM donation money has gone to fund stuff like buying their big property? There have also been other scandals regarding misuse of the donation money and it has made many regional BLM groups call to question where the money is going. There is very little accountability and transparency yet we have large companies like Amazon feeding them money via donations.

Why are people implying this money must have come from BLM donations? She wrote a book that was on the NYT bestseller list, and presumably has other income streams beyond her work for BLM. I have no idea whether BLM is allocating their money properly or not, but it seems quite plausible that she has earned all the money in question through legitimate means.

People think that money may be coming from the donations.

In such cases it is reasonable to have a proper calm discussion, not to ban those asking the question.

Such a fail of a comment. A real ugly troll or a plain idiot

An automatic 30-day Facebook ban, this will get you. - Even if you posted it “privately” through Facebook messenger, yep, that’s too a first: 30-day ban. - Veteran FB bans.

This is so crazy I have to ask, you’re serious here? You’ll actually get BANNED for sharing privately over FB messenger?

Slightly unrelated but for people that don't know, the "Black Futures Lab" which is an organization directly tied to BLM, is being funded by the "Chinese Progressive Association." I don't know what this entails but it's nice to see that the Chinese are interested in progressivism here in America.
