#32The effect of this is going to be employers quietly blackballing all graduates of universities that get into the news for these protests.

Re: Columbia University has a doxxing problem
#33The doxxing campaign is deplorable and unacceptable on its own terms, of course. However the article mischaracterizes the nature at least of the petitions that some of the students signed, making it out to be more harmless and innocuous than it actually was: Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine published an open letter on Monday demanding the University to “start verbally acknowledging Palestinian existence and…
100%
I also couldn't tell if the "doxxed" students were trying to say they were falsely associated with the moment, they just say they didn't personally sign the letter, but the article places them as "involved with the encampment", which to some spectators (myself included) counts as pretty suspect in the "pro resistance" column
It's frustrated me too that when I hear about the protests on the news they don't mention the depraved perspective of the organizers of the protest

#34> The student, who did not wish to be identified for fairly obvious reasons, said her name was listed on the truck because a club she was no longer a part of had signed onto an open letter urging Columbia to cut ties with Israel. So she signed an open letter, but didn't want her name to be attached to it? Isn't that the whole point of an open letter? And then she has the opportunity to speak with the press, and asks…
The way I read that was, the club had signed the letter, not her directly.
Oh, I read it as the club all signed the letter, and now she's not part of it anymore.
Maybe I misread, but if you actually look at the letter, it's a Google form where individuals are encouraged to sign: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RcXX5DEO3yfJ9R4ksURnzpIP...

These kids are anti-Putin, but there's no point in protesting someone who is an enemy of the US (at least as long as Trump is out of office).
The protests aren't just generic anti-war stuff. They're specifically against US support for the war.
Re: Columbia University has a doxxing problem
#37If you participate in a public event you can’t really expect to keep that activity secret. (One could also argue that the fact you want to indicates you feel there is something wrong about your actions) I wouldn’t really say this is doxing, since that usually refers to revealing a private online identity.
This is an inane argument. If one were to, for example, attend a public protest of Scientology, one might rightly fear for one's safety and be entirely convinced that one is in the right, regardless. Might, or fear thereof, does not make right.
I, for one, would like to know who shows up to rallies where they chant “Burn Tel Aviv to the ground!”
