Probably when it becomes about protecting the public, and the shaming is to prevent harm to others. Is it okay to dox the rapist Brock Allen Turner (and sex offender registries in general)? How about doxing brownshirts in Nazi Germany (and those they’ve inspired)?
I think this would fall under a public safety situation, and at least some of the pushback to this is rooted in how normalized traffic violence is in the US. There was a woman killed by a driver in a hit and run in my city last week, driving should be treated much more as a privilege than a right in urban areas where there are other options. I don’t love the privacy issues potentially enabling this doxing though.
