This week's deep dive is an exploration into the ethics and normalisation of doxxing. Why users across the internet have come to use doxxing as a form of protest and how the culture on TikTok, in particular, has challenged our conventional view of this practice all together. Ultimately leaving us with the question: Is it ever okay to doxx someone?
