CNN Doxxes a gif maker

How cute, trying to deflect from the fact that you falsely accused me of nitpicking over file endings. Do you acknowledge now that Trump did not use that guy's content as posted on reddit?

No, because I don't know if he did or didn't. I've seen nothing either way. Just because he created one doesn't mean he didn't create the other. Who knows? Certainly not you or I.

I didn't deflect and I stand by it. Way to not address you're a hypocrite when it suits you.

LOLWUT? The two sources have been linked to. The Trump tweet and the GIF on reddit. Of course both you and I and everybody else can know through simply spending the seconds they run looking at them that what I wrote is true.

Plague, if Trump's tweet included sound, then it wasn't sourced from a GIF on reddit. It was probably sourced from whatever the GIF was made from, but it couldn't have been made from the GIF. I think that's CE's point.
 
a basic primer in doxxing

Hi everyone!

As a public service I am going to post a couple of articles about doxxing.

What Is Doxing? "You can also have someone's dox without actually revealing it to the world." https://www.wired.com/2014/03/doxing/

Plus, you can dox someone for other purposes: such as here, extortion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxing

As such, that is how I am using it. Now can we get back on track?

Thanks.

And that means that the individual that made the .gif on Reddit could not have also made the .gif that Trump used? Am I understanding this correctly? Or is this just saying it wasn't the exact same? Cause I'm really lost. Just because he made the first does not under any circumstance mean he couldn't have made the second.

They are wrong, but that is fine. I will no longer harass you about the title.

See that hilighted bit? Because once you do, then it should become clear that your response is nonsense. Yes, it's possible that this guy created other versions posted elsewhere. But we know that Trump didn't use the reddit version, because it's different. This isn't a maybe. This is actually known with certainty.

You made me defend CE. I don't know if I can ever forgive you for that.

My apologies, I honestly mean that. I seriously didn't think that making that point would even matter as the individual took responsibility for the gif. I forgot about the conspiracy theory angle and was thinking "who gives a **** what the source material was" because it makes no difference.

essentially it means compiling and releasing a dossier of personal information on someone.

Or in TBD world, finding an Internet poster so you can ask them for an interview... :rolleyes:

And then not release any personal info about them at all.

I don't have access to Twitter from here, but GIFs _cannot_ have sound. Trump didn't tweet a GIF from someone if the Tweet video had sound. Ergo he didn't take it from the reddit GIF, and thus not from the other guy unless said guy also had posted the version with sound.

Yep, I understand now. To me, it's pointless but I understand

TBD is correct that his acceptable sources define it as merely collecting that information. He is logically correct.

Maybe. To me you aren't doxed until the information is released. We are all about technicalities around here though, so plus internet points to whomever caught that distinction.

I don't see why it's pointless. If the argument is that Hansomething is the source of Trump's video, but the video is taken from an earlier source, then Hanthingamagig isn't Trump's source, and thus the claim that he is, is wrong.
