When The New York Times threatened to doxx Scott Alexander, he noted that
If there’s no blog, there’s no story.
At the time, the NYT explained their internal policy:
We do not comment on what we may or may not publish in the future. But when we report on newsworthy or influential figures, our goal is always to give readers all the accurate and relevant information we can.
Since the NYT has not gone forward with their article, it is safe to conclude that they no longer find Scott Alexander and Slate Star Codex to be newsworthy.
Scott was right.
From this I conclude that it is the policy of the NYT to doxx people they disagree with to actively harm them.
Do note that this is not the position of the source article for the two quotes.
P.S. In their defense, I’m going to call the actions of the NYT a “negated converse”: they don’t like their platform being transparent when they write things that others don’t agree with (like any number of pie-in-the-sky policy positions advocated on the editorial page).
