This is to bring to your or anyone's attention an example of just what data-mining can do to your privacy, the impact it can have on the health and welfare of you, your family and how out of control it has gotten... This is not a political statement but it is a FYI reminder of how serious personal intrusion can get/has gotten and the ramifications.... NYU Professor Sam Lavigne created a data base on 1,595 ICE employees using personal information posted at LinkedIn. Lavigne shared the information with his 3,600 Twitter followers in an effort to doxx the ICE employees. Doxxing is defined as searching for and publishing private personal data with the intent of provoking malice toward the subjects of the doxxing. Doxxing goes well beyond speech that expresses an opinion. Doxxing puts the personal safety of its targets and their family members in jeopardy. NYU Professor Sam Lavigne went beyond teaching. He essentially was attempting to radicalize his 3,600 Twitter followers to take adversarial action toward law enforcement personnel who protect the America homeland from sex traffickers, hardened criminals and potential terrorists. GitHub, Medium, and Twitter all pulled Lavigne’s data on the ICE employees. The Daily Caller reports in part: Github, where Lavigne published the database, removed the page, saying it violated its terms of service. “We removed the project because it violates our community guidelines,” a GitHub spokesperson said. “In general, we have policies against use of GitHub for doxxing and harassment, and violating a third party’s privacy.” Unfortunately, the leftist terrorist group Antifa copied Lavigne’s data base before it was removed by GitHub, Medium, and Twitter.
