Doxxing is often considered as harassment. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Harassment#Posting_of_personal_infor...

Doxing means to reveal personal data about someone against their wishes. So if you found out my address and telephone number and posted it to this thread, that would be doxing me.

You don;t explain why being "doxxed" was a bad thing for you, or indeed what the downside is for anyone, You simply assert that it is a Bad Thing and must not happen. Would you like to give your reasons for those assertions?

It doesn't matter how good our intentions are. It doesn't matter how bad these people are. We as a community choose to block, ban, lock, whether or not
globally,
the accounts of people we deem unable to contribute.
We must not disclose unilaterally after the fact the identity of a
contributor. And not only because we may well have no clue about it. It
may
get them jailed for the wrong reasons. It may get them harmed for their genuine contributions.
That MUST NOT (rfc2119 [1]) be how we handle things. Once again, I cannot stress this enough.
Do not do this. This is a bad idea on so many levels. Pretty much all
of
them, really.

will serve?
A good question. The stated object of global bans is "to help
assure
the safety of users of the Wikimedia projects and/or assist in preventing prohibited behavior that hinders dialogue, project development and expansion". Identifying those persons banned as
fully
as possible helps to achieve that assurance and protect the
community.
