The original title is: > Judges To AG Pam Bondi: It’s OK For The Gov’t To Dox People, But Not OK For People To Dox Gov’t Employees?

Most of the federal agents arresting people perform fundamentally public-facing activities ostensibly in service of the public. Compared to the average person (or if you'd prefer, to the average non-government-employee), such federal agents should have very little expectation of privacy when they are on the job.

So, the government should "disappear" people without publicizing it? That's so much worse.
