“Doxing” means publicly releasing private information such as addresses or contact details. The Capytistas describe themselves as a secretive activist network focused on exposing wealth they say buys political influence. The law firm’s new organization is framed as an “election integrity” effort, but its stated aim is to promote policies aligned with claims that the 2020 election was fraudulent.
