The act that you inquire about is called doxing (doxxing). Whether the information that was posted was readily available through public sources, social media, or individuals, it is not a crime if true.

I was thinking of being careful with my words to steer clear of defamation, so that I could defend myself easily without a lawyer.By the way, the answer to your question in the thread that got locked is that publicly criticizing your sister's friends would not be a crime. However, depending on exactly what you post and what happens as a result, you could get sued for defamation. Why would it potentially cost you tens of thousands of dollars to defend yourself?

So if I made a blog post that revealed the identity of my sister behind her anonymous Twitter account, and stated that she made such and such decision (misleading parents and leaving after the tuition is paid), adding that she was encouraged to do so by friends (with supporting evidence) would there be any thing I should be worried about legally?The act that you inquire about is called doxing (doxxing).
