The wrong thing is that instead of going after doxxers, and reducing data collection to prevent leaks, they simply force the sites go to Tor network.

And now Europeans want everyone to send a selfie and a passport to register at sites, which only makes doxxing easier. Clowns.

Also, doxxing is relatively harmless. You won't die just because someone posts your passport online.

Jesus, do you have the object permanence of a 3-year-old? This part alone, no. But this then directly leads to hundreds of people harassing you, everyone you know, blackmailing you, etc. People get fired because their workplace doesn't want to deal with it, for fuck's sake.
