Releasing names, amounts donated and personal information of legal American Trump doners.
@syskatine do you denounce?
How is this not a blacklisting offense?

Twitter is becoming pathetic. They verified the official ISIS account and let this crap go on.
There's also an @everydemvoter and @everygopvoter bot. Considering how unstable and dangerous many on the left are, Twitter should shut them down.
This is available information. Do you object to the information being public, it being made available via Twitter, or something else?

I object to the obvious dog whistle call to harassment implicitly taking place. And so should you.
So you want donor info to be private? Were you this unhappy when Obama donors were "outed" in 2008?
Would love to see a source for this since it didn't happen. And someone actually doing research to find a donor is quite a bit different than some bot posting all of them, where they live and what they do for a living, no matter who they donated to. Wouldn't expect someone feeble minded to be able to understand that, though.
I see a lot of people on that list who sign paychecks for other Americans. I doubt there are many ultra liberals on here who've ever done such a thing
You talking about all the donations from foreign countries or Goldman Sachs?
1. No. I don't want twitter bots being programmed to incite harassment of normal people donating $200 while others are banned for such egregious acts as saying Ghostbusters 2 sucks.
2. Of course I would have been unhappy with it. First I've ever heard of it though.
You're nitpicking. That's public information and has been for a long time. Like when they publish mortgages or mug shots. Distasteful but a public record.
You aren't this stupid.
How many 80 IQ trolls are going to research public records to make an exhaustive list of people to harass?
Now how many will harass innocent people who are spoon fed to them on a followed Twitter page?
There's literally no way you can't perceive the contextual difference.
It's like dumping a duffle bag full of Glocks in south Chicago vs expecting the rank and file gang member to research gun show loopholes... to put it in terms you might understand.
Do you really think this is a thing? How many people will actually recognize someone they know from the long list on that feed? Much hand wringing over nothing...
Have you ever had an anonymous stalker? I have. It's really a thing and doesn't take much beyond a cowardly sense of anonymity and a twisted sense of justification. Why do they have to know them to google them and come across an email, business phone etc?
Hard to get too whipped up over it. I've contributed many times and people can easeily find it if they google me - other organizations, websites etc have published that information for a long time (I dont' think they publish Oklahoma state contributions as much as federal though). I don't love it being published either but it's never really impacted me, at least not to my face. Regarding the stalker issue, my advice is just let them give you a blowjob and they'll back off for a couple of days. At least that's what's worked with Harry.

If they harass electors why not donors?

Harder than creating twitter bots to publish the information. It's weird that you guys consider this a political issue. I don't think ther should be something like this for Hillary donors either.
It is public information. They aren't giving out addresses, phone numbers, or email addresses. I absolutely think there should be something like this for Hillary.
It should be public information. There should not be a bot handing it out like candy to idiots. Two different things.
I guess I don't see the point of the distinction if there is no address, phone number, email address or even twitter@.
If you can't see the point of distinction between a thing existing, and a thing being offered up on a plate with an implicit purpose of consuming, there is no point in carrying on the conversation I guess.
I'm not a donor, but a safe space from liberal lunatics is not something I need regardless. Not that I needed another gun, but I pick this double barrel pump 12 gauge bad boy up on Wednesday. It'll have no trouble clearing the snow...
I just put a team on creating an app to allow you to compare your social graph to the donor list... input a candidate you like or not, grant access to your social apps, decide what you want (unfriend, auto post a congrat message, etc) and GO!
What do you guys think?

Megapoke: There is a valuable and important distinction between public information and public information that people actually read.
This is a targeted form of harassment called doxing.
Doxing is an internet vigilante activity. Educate yourself.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxing
Nobody would read this public information except internet trolls who have it delivered to them with no effort via doxing by malicious actors.
I know you understand this.
Doxing is giving out Lindsay Grahams cell phone number on live TV. Doxing is dumping hacked emails in droves. How you feel about those incidents?
It isn't doxing if there isn't an address, phone number, email address, or twitter@. If I wanted to harass Tom Wright from above how would I even contact him?
I just googled the name and town and found the address and a picture of his business. Google. Ironic huh?
