This seems to be an old social network analysis of a primarily Chinese web phenomenon which entails doxing people for various reasons (including corruption in government).<p>The phenomenon is interesting as one example (among many others) of the democratization and 'cutting out the middle man' that the web offers: citizens taking legal and ethical matters into their own hands.
