So I want to address the hilariously hypocritical and self-deluding comments the /r/conspiracy users have been making in the wake of the topic ban. The following excerpt pretty much sums up their position:

This is a pretty blatant act of censorship under the guise of " harassment" or "doxxing" when really it's just a matter of speculation using public record to back it up. I wouldn't be surprised if this has the Barbara Streisand effect (more people going to visit the location due to the removal).

Again, none of us posted links to their Facebook profile or anything personal. The only remotely personal data was their name and address which were obtained via public record. They incorporated themselves, filling their own name and address as the registered agent. This was their choice and they knew the risk at the time.

Emphasis his. This poster clearly does not understand the definition of doxxing. I'll post some examples from the topic itself which I have edited to redact any information that might be remotely personal.

Exhibit A:

I went back to look at Funn Stuff Inc and this is weird too. They are listed as a trucking and transport company formerly owned by [NAMED REDACTED]. Hes passsed away now and a company named [COMPANY NAME REDACTED] Got it in 2008 for what looks like 1.5 million.

Funn Stuff is also associated with a russian real estate attorney as well as a sex offender who is currently in jail. [WEBSITE REDACTED] ( who knows)

Weird thing is the address is [ADDRESS REDACTED] as the address but operating address is [ADDRESS REDACTED]. This puts another company in the mix called [COMPANY NAME REDACTED]. As that owner now. [WEBSITE REDACTED] [ADDRESS REDACTED] use that adress and look through the records yourself.

[COMPANY NAME REDACTED] is owned by another lawyer. [NAMED REDACTED] which the address is just some house.

[COMPANY NAME REDACTED] is the owner of that which the address makes it [COMPANY NAME REDACTED]. Maybe its just they share a mailing address heres a screenshot of both places. -[GOOGLE EARTH SCREENSHOT REDACTED]

It does not matter if this information is publicly available. You don't post it. You can mention that it's find-able but you don't post the info. As far as I know it's only acceptable to mention peoples' names if they are well-known national/international figures, like politicians, actors, etc. I redacted the names of related businesses as well just to be safe, however I don't think it's against the rules to post those.

Exhibit B:

Ok this is getting stranger. [NAMED REDACTED] Owns the bait shop. [NEWSPAPER ARTICLE MENTIONING NAMES AND ADDRESSES REDACTED]

[LINK TO EXACT NAME AND ADDRESS REDACTED] There is only one [NAMED REDACTED] Listed in the US several [NAME REDACTED] tho most of them [STATE REDACTED] in the same area. Except one [NAME REDACTED] is listed as a board member for the county government but also on another site says he died in 1945.

[LINK TO BUSINESS LICENSE APPLICATION CONTAINING PERSONAL PHONE NUMBER REDACTED] Thats a link to the business license listed to [NAME REDACTED] If you go to the website for the Bait shop according to [STATE REDACTED] workforce business website [LINK TO NAME AND PHONE NUMBER REDACTED] you get this. [LINK REDACTED] Chinese company. Now that could be just a silly person typing in an incorrect address but it is interesting.

The Sex Offender could be living in the Campground located on the Bait shop property. Apparently they have a large area there that harbors people for long periods. It is interesting that a possible sex slave ring tied to overseas companies tied to this company has a sex offender tied to it..... Im working on more research and will post more below about whatever else i find.

This is where things get extremely dangerous. I'm surprised this post alone (made by the thread's OP) didn't guarantee a shadowban. Not only does it contain links to precise addresses, names, and a personal phone number, it also contains tons of completely unfounded speculation that taken out of context can ruin a person's or business's reputation. Again, I reiterate that it DOES NOT MATTER if the addresses and names are publicly available. If people want to find it they will find it themselves. YOU DO NOT POST IT ON REDDIT.

Exhibit C

As a disclaimer, this is from an earlier topic on the same subject. In the wake of Exhibit C, let us recall our friend from the beginning of this post:

This is a pretty blatant act of censorship under the guise of " harassment"

Again, none of us posted links to their Facebook profile or anything personal.

I suppose literally peering in through the windows, taking pictures, and posting them up isn't classified as harassment or personal by /r/conspiracy standards.

I wouldn't be surprised if this incident is their second strike, after the infamous incident where a user posted personal names, addresses, and phone numbers of Sandy Hook victims' families and was ferociously defended by the mods and userbase. One more, and they're out if I had to guess. I mean, normally I'm all for keeping them in their little zoo without disturbing them, but it's incidents like this that truly disturb me.
