Just a note about that Covington Catholic School crap and doxing participants:

Please do not post what you think are the IDs of anyone in those videos. We do not dox people on DU. It's a serious violation of this site's Terms of Service. Just don't do it, please!

No doubt names will come out in different places. They do not belong here. All too often, IDs are posted in error, and cause terrible trouble for the wrong person.

Please don't contribute to that.

they will be when the little cretins tearfully tell the world they are not bad people, they just have these bouts of vicious racism - those names need to be spread far and wide.

identified in the legitimate press. However, no doubt, you'll be able to find names if you want them. But not here.

Go look on Reddit or Twitter. I'm sure people are already posting names they think are correct. Many of those will be wrong, though. If you want a project, try to identify some of the adults that watched this happen without interfering.

Dox those people on those other sites if you wish. But not on DU. We don't do that here. Take it somewhere else, please.

The OP opposes doxing, but prefers revenge porn...

Everyone’s got their preferences.

They should be identified. What they did was a violation of a man's human dignity, they should not be able to hide behind being a minor. Evil like they showed must be relentlessly rooted out, by all nonviolent means at our disposal.

From what I understand of it, revenge porn is using intimate photos of a former lover or a desired lover to create the impression that person is loose and an easy conquest.

I don't know why a person would send a stranger a candid photo of their genitals or behind, but people do that. But that is a different situation from a former wife or girlfriend sending her then husband or boyfriend candid shots of her nether regions in furtherance of their romance, only to have the man publish those photos after the breakup, the same dynamic goes for a woman who use candid shots from a man that she was once intimate with, when the man sent her the photos believing that she would keep them private.

Not minors. Do you not remember the times when names have been wrong or an ID was someone with the same name, but not involved. There is a reason such things are not allowed here. Right now, nobody has any names of any adults who were involved. Nobody has published those names in the media.

Right now, we have no idea who those people are, and we must be careful not to misidentify someone. That's how I see it.

have no doubt they will troll with both actual and erroneous names.

This is as good a reason as any to avoid being triggered or mislead.

They are kids and their names, addresses, etc should not be made public or re-shared.

I'm consistent about that. Besides the first name that came out was dead wrong, so...
