gollark: Well, it's actually particularly relevant for me today, since a blog I follow, SlateStarCodex, is (temporarily? I hope) shut down because a news reporter is apparently planning to release the author's real-world name in an article about it, i.e. very literal doxxing, despite said blog author saying that they did not want this.
gollark: Eh. I think it's better than the alternative.

gollark: One of the good things about the internet is the ability to have pseudonyms and not be connected to your real-world identity, which allows (some amount of) safety and helps allow freedom of thought.
