The canonical dox is posting someone’s name and address. If that’s not doxxing, the word has no meaning.

Posting a pseudonymous person’s name and address divulges private information: the real person behind the pseudonym. Posting a public official’s name and address isn’t doxxing.

Like saying Bidan lives at the white house? Stating public information actually very public in this case isn't doxing.
