The dangers of doxing in the digital media

The internet has many advantages as it helps us gather information and learn about new things. But it has its dangers, too. Doxxing is one among them. It is a short form of 'dropping documents.' A person is 'doxxed' when his private information, like his address, phone number, etc., is shared online without his permission. In most countries, people who dox others are fined or sent to jail.
