Dox stay up because it is typically meta data. If information about you can be found on social media/google, whatever, its not private.

If someone has to steal your medical records from a hospital in order to release it, then that is not allowed, nor is posting someone else's social security number.

What I gather from this is that information that could somehow be publicly available, are allowed to be posted here. But in quote #2 it's stated that non-public information are not allowed. But what falls under your definition of non-public information? What if the doxed person claims none of the information released were publicly available?

I also didn't see the issue about false information being released. (Guess that would fall under the up for individuals to determine what is baseless logic?)
