Pretty sure German law doesn't define the English term "doxxing". And again, maybe the conference organisation, not Kieran, violated German law, but:

1) That does not justify knowingly repeated slander against another member of the community (or really anyone).
2) The conference is probably outside German jurisdiction anyway.
3) In all likelihood, Thilo granted permission for the conference to publish the address in the fineprint of the exhibitor contractual terms.
4) If it was Thilo's *office* address, it's likely even public information from the trade register.

"Who" implies that it was a **question**. If someone committed "doxxing" under either of the generally accepted definitions, that's whoever **answered** that it was Thilo.

Again, you were a member of the CC and I was not at the time, so whatever. I doubt that the other members of the CC at the time will appreciate those comments though.

The current CC has no authority over stuff that was handled by a previous CC. A contrario, the current CC already took actions publicly against Kieran in other matters earlier *this* year.
