This is obviously easily avoidable, but what's the worst punishment I can get for doxxing someone? I've never heard of it happening to anyone, so I'm curious.

i don't think you can arrested, unless you get the info from "illegal" ways (you know what i mean)

in some cases, doxxing is 100% legal.
there are certain aspects.
-did you obtain the data legally?
-is the doxxed person a minor
-is the data posted with the intention of directed harassment
-are you harassing the doxxed person
in the worst cases, you could get hit with child endangerment, harassment and even stalking
(which can result in being put on the sex offender registry)

As long as it’s public data there is nothing wrong with it

Doxxing tends not to be illegal if the information exposed lies within the public domain, and it was obtained using legal methods.

Most Doxes are fake / incorrect anyhow as well, I wouldn't worry much.

I think you'll be fine mate, just doxx away :p
