I'm still gobsmacked.

It's like some people have never heard of the Streisand effect, and want to do some sort of experiment to prove that it's valid....

Wasn't doxing illegal now?

Apparently not, though the government did introduce a new bill earlier this month.

Basically nothing regarding digital abuse by corporations is illegal in Australia. Corporations can do whatever they want. There are basically zero privacy laws here. It's the wild west. We don't even have a legal right to free speech.
