The New Ethics of Privacy and Pseudonymity
summary
Panel argues doxing differs from whistleblowing and carries high false‑positive harm, predicting more vigilantism as institutions lose legitimacy, and recommends technical fixes: minimize KYC data, prefer self‑custody wallets and integral DEX flows, and run services on personal servers. Concrete projects cited include Orbit (a decentralized personal‑server OS) and a typed VM called codon to build end‑to‑end encrypted social apps, claiming these reduce attack surface and make doxing less effective.
