> We have all heard horror stories of innocent people being mistaken for criminals

Sure. All the horror stories involve doxxing by anons. This is not the same at all.

> If Krebs doxxed you or I doxxed you, the result for you is the same. I fail to see your point here.

Well if he was wrong to doxx me, I'd be able to sue him into oblivion. If you doxxed me, there'd be no repercussions for you. That personal liability pretty much ensures that Krebs isn't going to doxx me unless he's absolutely certain that he's right.
