Whether you have a right to know, according to your personal value system, is orthogonal to whether it's doxing.
Rights don’t emanate from one’s subjective personal beliefs. Sure, there are “natural rights” espoused by political philosophers, but in the real world, rights are enshrined in constitutions and codified in laws that we are all subject to.
Archive.today does not seem to have worked for people connecting from Finland since mid-January, it just gives an endless captcha loop. Is this related to whatever this drama is?
This likely means nothing, but the .is webmaster seems to have some sort of existing issue with Finland (where gyrovague is from), see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37011955 .
