Being private and being anonymous are not exactly the same.
You don’t get doxxed if there is no reason to be. I might done some actions that in the eyes of someone I deserve to be punished but privacy unlinks me from those actions. I just become background noise.
Relying on obscurity is not the same thing as “total immunity”.
Total immunity is a is not realistic in any scenario. I am referring to just the result of not getting doxxed. You can achive that by relying on security but also on anonymity.
Well if the original comment said it makes it less likely to get doxxed I would have agreed. But that’s not what the comment said. I was replying to what was actually said which is when I pointed out that privacy and anonymity are not the same thing (in the context of being immune to doxxing). If you were anonymous on the internet then you would be immune to getting doxxed (however unrealistic that circumstance may be).
