"ICE List operates as a crowdsourced wiki maintained by volunteers, who have discretion over who is added and what is marked as "verified." Like Wikipedia, with which it has no affiliation, ICE List has category pages that feature a link to every page included in that category. Not everyone on the list is an ICE employee or even affiliated with a federal agency;"
"Dominick Skinner, the owner of ICE List, says he does not believe that what ICE List does is doxing. ICE List doesn't post the home addresses of identified agents, and says on its About page that "false submissions, harassment, or attempts to misuse the platform will be removed." "If this were doxing, then we dox ourselves by simply being present in online environments," Skinner says, "which is just rather ridiculous.""
"Last week, a website called ICE List went viral after its creators said that they had received what they described as a leak of personal information about nearly 4,500 Department of Homeland Security employees. However, a WIRED analysis of the site found that the database relies heavily on information that apparent DHS employees have posted publicly online themselves. This comes at a time when DHS has characterized reporting on or publicizing the identity of ICE officers as "doxing""
ICE List went viral after its creators said they had received a leak of personal information about nearly 4,500 Department of Homeland Security employees. Analysis found that much of the database relies on information apparent DHS employees posted publicly online. DHS has characterized reporting on or publicizing the identity of ICE officers as "doxing" and has threatened to prosecute perceived offenders. ICE List functions as a crowdsourced wiki maintained by volunteers who decide who is added and what is marked "verified." Some listed individuals are not ICE employees and entries can contain contested or misleading details.
