Since last fall, doxxing campaigns have been used to "name and shame" those who express opinions about the Israel-Hamas war. The names of Harvard students who signed onto a statement from the student group Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee were plastered on billboards near the university's campus. A scientific journal fired its editor-in-chief for retweeting a satire article. A Florida school district placed a teacher on leave for sending an email about recognizing the Palestinian community. NYU Langone Health fired a doctor for pro-Israel social media posts.
According to Merriam-Webster, the first-known use of 'dox' occurred in 2009.
- body-shame
