X Faces Pressure Over Doxing Allegations Against Prominent Whistleblower Account

X, formerly Twitter, is facing calls for intervention after user Sidharth publicly accused the account @KumarXclusive of attempting to "dox people" and mobilizing "a mob of low IQ trolls trying to dox people." The accusation, made on the platform, directly tagged X's official accounts, including @XCorpIndia, @X, @Support, and Head of Product @nikitabier, urging immediate action against what Sidharth described as "bad-faith actors."

X maintains a strict policy against doxing, which involves sharing private information online without consent. The platform's rules explicitly prohibit the dissemination of personal details such as home addresses, phone numbers, identity documents, and real-time location data. Violations can result in temporary suspensions or permanent bans, with the platform evaluating the nature and intent behind the shared information.

The account @KumarXclusive identifies as an "H-1B Whistleblower" and "Truth Teller," frequently posting on alleged issues within the "desi immigrant world," including visa fraud and employment irregularities. While the account has a substantial following and often generates significant discussion, there are no public records from web searches confirming prior doxing allegations against it, though a pinned post suggests the user is aware of backlash.

Nikita Bier, who assumed the role of Head of Product at X in July 2025, oversees the platform's product roadmap and user engagement strategies. His involvement in the tweet highlights the user's expectation that X's leadership should address serious policy violations impacting user safety. Bier is known for his expertise in building viral social products and is expected to leverage AI tools to enhance the platform's features.

In India, where @XCorpIndia was tagged, the legal framework surrounding doxing remains complex. While there is no specific standalone law against doxing, victims can pursue legal recourse under various provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, covering aspects like privacy breaches, stalking, and defamation. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, also offers some protection, though its application to publicly available data has limitations.
