It's comical how childish people act over publicly available information. Someone bothered the Tumblr PB mods about this info and thread, so I might as well post here to Reddit as I don't mod the Tumblr or other accounts.

First off, names (first and last), usernames, e-mail addresses (if posted or listed publicly by the individual or their place of work), home addresses and phone numbers (not made private) are all forms of public information that can and will be found in records. You can go down to city hall or several .gov websites to request this information, however it may be behind a pay wall. You also have to deal with the fact that this stuff is listed on hundreds upon thousands of people search engines and sites ran by data miners.

That info isn't classified as dox. Only dox that exists would be the "Card name," yet that's useless information that's meta at best. Gender is also another one, regardless of "deadnaming" claims, that is more meta than anything and is public information.

Now, if "Number" refers to the "card number," then yes that's dox and is meta due to not being the full number.

Dox isn't public info, that's modern bull that's more or less people getting upset their pseudo-anonimity is being stripped. All this information ultimately ties into one thing or another, can be used to cross reference other information, and then used to make a dossier.

This is why you use a new username and e-mail address for each account. This is also why you rely on pre-paid cards when giving out donations or fund to sites like kickstarter or patreon.

True dox is usually Social Security numbers, passwords, non-public information like private e-mail addresses, credit card numbers (full) and other miscellaneous data usually not found with public archives and data. Rule of thumb is: Can it be found on Google or the phone book?

Granted, that rule is exploited by authorities and a lot of webmasters and communities. Because suddenly if it's in Google, when it was truly private and personal data... people shrug and go "It's found on Google!"

Your best bet is to realize this is what happens with inter-connectivity, social media and other such things. Always be aware and expect the worst.

You can solve this issue by reporting the pastebin to, what else, pastebin! If it ends up on ghostbin or archive.is, good luck it won't be removed most likely.

Here, a dirty edit of an anti-dox guide I'm helping work on: http://paranoidsbible.tumblr.com/toc

If you feel paranoid, start scrubbing and opting out. The guide should cover the bare bones until we get the other guides and primers finished.
