>The act was definitely "doxing" any way you slice it.

How exactly is taking publicly available information about a (comparatively) high profile individual and sharing it doxing?

Political donations are public information[1]. As far as I can tell, (and according to Mozilla), the group that made public the information about Eich was The LA Times, in 2012. Two years before he was made CEO[2][3].

In what way is retweeting a two year old newspaper headline about the recently promoted CEO of your company remotely doxxing?
