1. Since it came up recently, here are my current opinions on anonymous criticisms and doxxing. I say "current" because like all my opinions they're subject to change.

These are general opinions independent of any specific person, situation, person, or position taken.

2. First, I'm generally not a fan of anonymous criticisms due to the lack of accountability. I say this having seen anonymous accounts unfairly criticize and even slander people without meaningful consequence.

3. At the same time, I acknowledge why people at times feel the need to criticize anonymously due to the subject and/or temperament of those targeted. An asymmetry of power can also result in an asymmetry of accountability as well.

4. Regardless of my opinions of anonymous criticism, I'm opposed to doxxing, defined by @MerriamWebster below. The results of doxxing usually validate the initial need for people to assume anonymity in the first place.

5. Additionally, I am strongly opposed to snitching on people's employers trying to get them fired for social media behavior. Taking away someone's livelihood is a Big Deal in Judaism as I show here:

6. In short, my opinion of which are worse behaviors on the internet goes as follows:

Getting someone fired > doxxing > anonymous criticism

7. Finally, I'd like to remind *all* Jews that revenge is a biblical prohibition per Lev. 19:18, defined in the Talmud Yoma 23a as follows:
