Are people on HN of all places pretending to be cutely ignorant about doxxing? Back in the days of Internet forums it was understood to be a bad thing to publish someone's home adress or a picture of it. It's not that home locations were thought secret information, it's an invitation to random crazies.

we're not ignorant, we're taking many things into context. Musk is a public figure, he's being hypocritical, he's not actually being "doxxed", and his kid wasn't threatened by somebody who used the plane's location.
