Doxxing (in the sense of collecting and sharing personal but almost always legally accessible information about a person) was already ceded as something that happens on KF far up thread.

People get banned for posting about swatting, but one of the primary reasons people dox others is to be able to harass them in real life. If someone is doxed you can swat them without needing to coordinate anything, or brag about it on a forum. Folks in the forum can see the person posting about getting swatted, then all laugh at that person.

Folks being harassed by KF get swatted after being doxed. It's pretty easy to make the conclusion that they're being swatted because they've been doxed on KF.
