That's a fair point and I agree with you on both counts.

As you said, in this particular case, the respective judicial entities purposefully released the personal information with the intent of arresting both. Whether that is successful or not remains to be seen but that's a different story.

For me personally, I understand doxing to be the release of personal information with malicious, indirect intent. For example, hoping that an angry mob will find the home of a person and attack them, send the person death threats through the post, etc.

Assuming a decently functional justice system, I don't consider an arrest warrant a malicious intent.
