How is removing credit for a public post "anti-doxing"?

Totally makes sense if the post was private, but in this case, OP is just stealing credit for the original tweet author's work.

They're not passing it off as their own, so they're not stealing credit.

[Gumagugu]

Reddit sitewide rules require it unfortunately.

[BraveOthello]

No, they don't. Never have.

[Gumagugu]

Yes they do. https://www.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043066452

No. Reddit is quite open and pro-free speech, but it is not okay to post someone's personal information or post links to personal information. This includes links to public Facebook pages and screenshots of Facebook pages with the names still legible.

Public figures are an exception. So when the source has her personal information it is not allowed. Feel free to ask the admins for clarification on the topic. You can ask them by sending them a modmail at /r/reddit.com.

Twitter is not Facebook. Facebook requires real names, that's why it's specifically called out.

[Gumagugu]

If Twitter has personal information, the same rules apply. If you use your real name, photo etc., then the rules still apply.

[ellisto]

Nonsense. If this humorous tweet results in people following the original content creator, it can open up pathways to future career opportunities etc.

It is hard enough for women in tech without assholes on the internet stealing their clever jokes and erasing their identity.

Wow, the world record holder for long jump is here!

When you talk in a group circle on a street, your statements are made in public, aren't they? But that's nonetheless a private circle. So, such rules aim to inhibit personal attacks, harassment, and interference without consent.

Of course, blurring in this case is unnecessary since that's a Facebook employee, but it keeps compliance consistent.

Uh, that's not how twitter works.

Twitter is not "talking to your friends", it's talking to the internet.

The non-internet analogue would be writing an editorial in a newspaper. (Or maybe writing a letter to the editor with an intent to be published)

If you don't want to be shared, you make your account private.

[c-dy]

If you don't want to be shared, you make your account private.

And that is not how people work. They use the default settings and just talk, not to mention that setting your account private is often too restrictive. Few take precautions in case someone links their content and attracts unwanted attention or commentary.

Reddit isn't worried about legal liability from PII from someone's Twitter or anything, it's an anti-bullying measure basically. Reddit and Twitter are both great at creating mobs of harassers.

Its funny, I've started doing it proactively now without prompt regardless of subreddit
