Sydney real estate agency posts personal information of critics in response to online backlash over viral rental listing

www.abc.net.au An unusual Sydney rental ad attracted critics online. Before long things blew 'out of all proportion'

After a three-bedroom inner-Sydney apartment went viral for its strict conditions for tenants, the internet came hard for the agency behind it. In response, that same business has begun posting personal details of their critics in a move to stop the posts.

Wasn't doxing illegal now?
- Basically nothing regarding digital abuse by corporations is illegal in Australia. Corporations can do whatever they want. There are basically zero privacy laws here. It's the wild west. We don't even have a legal right to free speech.
  
  Silence, peasant!
  
  You must be more compliant!
- Apparently not, though the government did introduce a new bill earlier this month.
  
  And this bill is going to ban doxing, right? Right??
I'm still gobsmacked.

It's like some people have never heard of the Streisand effect, and want to do some sort of experiment to prove that it's valid....
