It's a horrible point, it assumes that the person being doxxed is the claim of the doxer.

There is no wait they can be 100% sure, so they will ruin someone's life over what?

What harm is caused by this article, do you think? He is already incredibly wealthy, already has security, and many people already assumed he was Satoshi Nakamoto. Claiming that someone invented a world altering technology is neither libel, nor defamation, _even if it an intentional lie_. If it is not a lie, or is merely a mistake it _certainly_ is neither.

    Many people who are assumed to be wealthy have family members kidnapped. Even those who turn out to be not wealthy.

  • Doxing itself is the harm, if not 100% validated. The article is purely subjective.
