Organizations and social media groups have pored through statements, online posts and protest activity to identify and condemn speech they view as offensive.

Doxxing is carried out by people who want to appeal to their side and confirm and solidify their own views, Raicu said. The snippets of information shared on social media are intended to provoke outrage but lack nuance and context. They can delist their personal information from websites and make social media accounts private, among other steps.
