Doxxed : How Privacy Abuse Harms

What happens when your personal information is weaponized against you online? This groundbreaking book offers a novel examination of doxxing—the malicious sharing of private, identifiable and sensitive information—through a feminist and post-humanist lens. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 18 victim-survivors, it reveals the deeply gendered harms of privacy abuse, from public shaming and reputational damage to the erosion of informational autonomy. Challenging conventional understandings of digital abuse, the book foregrounds the lived experiences of those affected and calls for urgent, victim-centred reforms. A vital resource for scholars and advocates, it reimagines data rights in a digital world increasingly shaped by surveillance and control.
