Squatcher Doxing

 
I came across a video by a cryptozoologist who is complaining that he has received abuse online. He says he has been doxed, in other words his personal details has been published on social media. This situation has been caused by the premier of a new documentary called Capturing Bigfoot, see: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31457111/. He saw it and expressed a very decisive opinion about it. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlvNMTv5x-Q. I have not seen this move yet myself. The film launched at the South-by-Southwest Film Festival last month. I don't know much about this film except that, based on current trends, I know it takes a very skeptical bent. I will reserve judgement until I've seen it; and I will provide a full review of my own after that. In the meantime I totally and unconditionally oppose any abuse, harassment and incitement to mob misconduct towards anybody involved with it; be it in production, distribution or media reception. We cannot win this war of ideas by behaving like the Orwellian censors or cancel culture zealots. Reality will not be decided by denouncement. Please, leave these people alone! The truth will out.
