The problem I have using “dox” here is that some portion of the word’s negative affect doesn’t (or at least might not) apply in this case.
But the pitch for the non-central fallacy is that this is an intentional deviation. For example, if everyone everywhere has always talked about “the criminal, MLK” then saying MLK is a criminal wouldn’t be non-central anymore, it would just be the way he is described.
I’ve never heard any other term except doxxing for deliberately revealing another person’s identity on the internet; it is even common use when describing accidental cases. As a practical matter and according to our (or at least the American-centered internet) norms it is a fundamentally malicious act.
