That the sharing of public information of public figures is in the public interest.

Also, doxxing isn’t illegal, although harassment is.

It is against Facebook's rules.

Is sharing unusual real estate transactions without the actual address doxxing? I wouldn’t think so. This allows the dissemination of information without triggering Facebook’s inconsistent application of their own rules, and the public can refer directly to the canonical real estate ownership ledger (county records).

The problem is that Facebook selectively enforces these rules.
