Does this violate the doxing rules on HN? It's certainly more "random social media drama" than hacker-related.

Not sure how this is doxing. The person in question made herself a public figure and the journalist tried to verify her claims.

And why label this as some random drama? It is a modern day phenomena where people can easily fake their persona online for personal gains. And having significant number of such people will have an impact (negative) on the society. This is very much on topic with many other discussions on hacker news, such as content moderation on twitter.

> It is a modern day phenomena

"Phenomena" is plural, i.e. it refers to multiple "phenomenons".
