“A despicable person who ruins lives”This person’s actions or possibly this bot’s actions are putting people in danger, so people should know what kind of harmful person he is. People like this have no place here Ah, this is exactly why I love X — not just crypto Twitter, but X itself. Today someone doxxed ZachXBT ( [zachxbt on X](https://x.com/zachxbt?utm_source=chatgpt.com) ). He’s stayed anonymous for years not because he has something to hide, but because he exposes scams worth hundreds of millions. Anonymity is his shield — take that shield away, and people can pressure him through his family, friends, and surroundings. (Although, according to some people, if he gets paid, he stops going after a project.) Now go read the comments under the doxxing post — that’s where you really see people for who they are. Not the ones being investigated, but the ordinary crowd just enjoying watching someone lose their protection 😁 Doxxing an investigator isn’t journalism or investigation — it’s part of the pressure campaign from the people he investigated.
