This seems to happen often. People rush to Facebook and Twitter and ID the wrong person.

but the demand to identify - especially the demand to identify quickly - plays a signifiant role in the number of people misidentified as having engaged in heinous acts. And they never get their good names back.

I've been posting to correct people on FB wherever I've seen him misidentified. For a while people were just uncritically accepting that the name that was being posted was the MAGA kid, but it's not him.

Doxxing is a violation of twitter policy, as is targeted harassment.

Frankly I’d hope the same rules would apply here.

But the moment you give out his name *and* place of residence you have committed a violation. You can expect that to be read liberally.

You're just finding things that are prohibited in Twitter, and pretending I want them.

I didn't realize this was Twitter. But now all the tweets on here make sense, so thanks.

Edit - and posting someone's name is pretty much exactly what doxxing is. And I don't agree with what these kids did but they are still minors.

are protecting him. By this time a name should have come out. I wonder if he will be expelled? I doubt it. Of course those are the Christian values to harass someone. Of course the Mega Hat is a real example of Christian love..

like others have said, the first name a lot of folks were throwing around is evidently not the right guy and he did not even go on the trip

what he did identification is appropriate. Sad part is that he is acting out what he has been taught. I would think from his immediate family.

Since he is old enough to be on the march and to do that. He's obviously at least high school age.
