That was the incident when Alexander said he didn't want an article about him turning up on the top results in Google when people were considering hiring him as a medical doctor.

Using Alice in Wonderland logic, this somehow meant his fans were meant to declare holy war on the New York Times but not Google.

The argument that it's doxxing was an attempt to undermine journalism.

The NYT's job is to uncover information that powerful people don't want uncovered, in the public interest. If someone is wielding significant influence anonymously, it's valuable to the public to know who it is.

Doxxing is publishing as much info as possible to harm vulnerable people. The NYT didn't publish Alexander's home address, cell number, credit cards, and pictures of their kids, and encourage people to track Alexander down.
