In 2019, Brian Krebs reported that, "the individual who appears to maintain the Doxbin... stated that he also was responsible for maintaining SiegeCulture, a white supremacist Web site that glorifies the writings of neo-Nazi James Mason." [2]

In July 2020, John William Kirby Kelley, who was involved in a neo-Nazi swatting conspiracy and a group associated with a neo-Nazi terrorist network known as Atomwaffen Division, as well as the Deadnet IRC channel and its participants, were linked to the group that maintains Doxbin. [3] [4] [5] [6] According to federal prosecutors, the group maintains Doxbin to list past and potential swatting targets. [7]

Legality

According to Doxbin's terms of service as of 2024, the site does not allow users to post "third party links to underage explicit images," "any personal information specifically about children under the age of 15," or "direct threats of physical harm, terroristic threats and swat threats/requests."


The privacy policy mentions the site does not allow illegally obtained material, but suggests it does not attempt to verify legality by further stating, "Can anybody prove [whether information has been obtained illegally]? Not unless you brag about it." It also states that "Doxbin was not made for harassment, intimidation or to cause nuisance," and claims that "it is impossible for some PHP code to harass somebody."

Doxbin's privacy policy also claims that Section 230 of the United States Communications Decency Act provides legal immunity to the operators against legal threats related to anything uploaded to the site. [8]
