Could you please clarify for me, is doxxing actually considered a crime in most legal systems? I've heard mixed opinions on this topic and I'm trying to understand the legal implications of revealing someone's personal information online without their consent. Is there a universal definition or standard that applies across different countries? And what are the potential consequences for individuals or organizations found guilty of doxxing?

Though doxxing itself may not always be classified as a criminal offense, it often serves as a catalyst for other illegal activities.
