Presidential Doxxing Normalizes Harassment

When presidents publicly publish private contact details and call for followers to 'badger' opponents, it normalizes state‑adjacent doxxing and lowers the bar for harassment against public officials and private citizens alike. That practice pressures legislators, chills dissent, and forces platforms and law‑enforcement to respond to politically motivated abuse. — If political leaders treat personal contact information as a mobilization tool, it creates new systemic risks for democratic norms, platform moderation, and personal safety that require policy and platform answers.
