The Jewish creatives’ WhatsApp leak was more whistleblowing than doxing. Here’s why

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, February 15, 2024

Debate around doxing is raging in Australia after the leak of a WhatsApp chat group called “Jewish Australian creatives and academics”.

Key Points: 
  • Debate around doxing is raging in Australia after the leak of a WhatsApp chat group called “Jewish Australian creatives and academics”.
  • While the group was formed as a supportive space, some of its conversations focused on challenging media critiques of Israel.

Personal information

  • According to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus, doxing is the “malicious release” of someone’s personal information without their consent.
  • The first question here is one of personal information.
  • Was any personal information actually leaked?
  • Those who released the information say they scrubbed any details that could be used to track people down, such as phone numbers and email addresses.

Malicious intent

  • This leads to the second question, which is one of intent.
  • The government claims the leak was done with malicious intent, and this claim has been backed by the opposition and organisations such as the Executive Council of Australian Jewry.
  • Yet the malicious intent is also up for debate.
  • But it is debatable whether the anti-facist campaign was malicious or not.
  • This made the Charlottesville leak political, rather than personally malicious.
