Just because you disagree with someone does not make it ok to dox them.

That's a bit simplified, isn't it? He's pointing out precisely that "doxing" the entire population of Denmark shouldn't be acceptable to her, and that she's literally not accepting herself being "doxxed." If it was about, I dunno, pizza toppings or school budgeting, then obviously the actions would have been different.
Actually it does, and much more.
The lifes of powerful people must be transparent.
Having their business transparent makes sense but by restricting people's personal lives like this would disincentivize good people from rising to power, which is not what we want.
People that want to be powerful for personal gain will be filtered. People that legimitely want to give their all for their country will be encouraged.
Good, I don't want people rising to unlimited, uncheckable power and creating oppressive hierarchies in general.
The most powerful people are those who are billionaires
Is it "just disagreeing with them" or is it taking away privacy _from those publicly renouncing the right to privacy_, with goal of protecting the right to privacy of everyone else, who didn't renounce it, by pointing out the hipocrisy and that it actually is important, even to those who claim otherwise trying to take it from others?
