online vigilantism / doxxing 民眾舉報 / 起底
Online vigilantism has been around since the early days of the internet. So has “doxxing” — originally a slang term among hackers for obtaining and posting private documents about an individual, usually a rival or enemy. To hackers, who prized their anonymity, it was considered a cruel attack.
1. prize重視，珍視 (v.) – often PASSIVE
e.g. In parts of Asia, this plant is prized for its medicinal qualities.
在亞洲某些地區，這種植物因其藥用價值而倍受重視。
e.g. I prize that intimacy above everything.
我把那種親密關係看得比甚麼都重。
Now the online hunt to reveal extremists has raised concerns about unintended consequences, or even collateral damage. Some worry that the stigma of being outed as a political extremist can only reinforce that behavior in people who could still be talked out of it.
2. collateral 附帶的，次要的；（親戚）旁系的，非直系的 (adj.)
e.g. a collateral branch of the family 家族的旁系
à collateral damage（戰爭中的）附帶性破壞，附帶損害 = 殃及池魚
3. out 公開（名人）的同性戀身份 / 踢爆 (v) - INFORMAL
e.g. Hardly a week went by without someone famous being outed.
幾乎每週都有一個名人被揭露出是同性戀者。
4. talk somebody out of something 說服（某人）放棄 (phrasal verb)
e.g. Her parents tried to talk her out of getting engaged.
WRITING vs. SPEAKING
Speaking
“Originally it was little black-hat hacker crews who were at war with each other — they would take docs, like documents, from a competing group and then claim they had ‘dox’ on them,” “There was this idea that you were veiled and then uncovered.”
Writing
“Doxxing” was originally a slang term among hackers for obtaining and posting private documents about an individual, usually a rival or enemy. To hackers, who prized their anonymity, it was considered a cruel attack.
