In the US, “doxxing” laws are pretty much state-by-state and many may be violating the first amendment.

Today, yes. In 1996 “doxxing” wasn’t a term. The internet was so new to people that nobody knew what it could even do.
I’ll give you a great example. I remember watching a news report fall of 2000, where K*B Toys was trying this untested idea. Could they use the internet to sell things? The experts said no, and that the internet was a fad. It simply wasn’t a medium you could use for commercial things…ebay aside.
In 1996 Google didn’t even exist yet. I don’t think Amazon was even a bookstore yet. The internet in those days was primitive, and the wild west of the technology realm.
