Does "naming and shaming" differ from "doxxing"?

[andrewducker]

Checking the definition, probably not.

[jducoeur]

I think of them as slightly different in connotation -- "naming and shaming" to me is just calling people out by name, whereas "doxxing" usually includes enough information to actually harm the target physically. IMO the former is sometimes ethically reasonable (although the Internet tends to go way beyond the "reasonable" mark); the latter basically never is.

Yes. I would expect "naming and shaming" to be name, probably photo, and town where they live. Not phone number, address etc.
