  ... or share real-time information on enforcement activity. The administration claims the accounts are engaged in doxing and endanger officer safety, but they have also targeted social media users seemingly doing nothing more than expressing anger at the government.

\1 masked goon squads are for questionable dictatorships.

\2 US citizens are free to say "the police are over there"

\3 US citizens are free to express angaer at their government.

For someone who constantly whines about political advocacy on HN, you sure do engage in a lot of political advocacy on HN.

I didn't submit this political post.

Making the info of public employees public. Don’t want your info public, don’t become a a servant of the public.

Besides US law clearly says their personal information isn’t theirs. We should be celebrating this person allowing public employees to hear the views of the public they serve.

> Don’t want your info public, don’t become a a servant of the public.

This would effectively mean people would only become public servants if they don't want their own and their family's lives endangered by lunatics.

Not at all. Most states have open records laws which would allow someone to request full names, salaries, and job titles of every government employee in the state. One might wonder why those people are not being targeted by "lunatics". Perhaps ICE is doing particularly disagreeable things?

Militias aren’t targeting people at the unemployment office because they believe in unemployment. They don’t believe in border control though. That’s been a Democrat quasi-position since the Biden administration.

Yeah, I’d like to be able to register to vote without doxxing myself. I’d like to have a little privacy protection to myself even when I’m out and about, but these sorts have decided I get neither.

Fuck these parasitic scum. They deserve as much privacy as they offer me.

Why is knowing the identities of the people who have power over you a problem? I pay their salaries.

Why is it a problem? They aren't doing anything they should be worried about the public knowing, right? Right?
