Publishing someone's dox is not illegal*, even if that info was obtained illegally. The pentagon papers for instance were leaked illegally to the New York Times, yet the supreme courts sided with the press:

This is also how WikiLeaks was able to operate. If you have worked for any Corpo that handles sensitive data on its customers, your boss and finance will constantly tell you that, YOU leaking info to anyone makes you liable. However the press publishing the info you leaked is not. So some random dude """hacking""" into a vtubers account , getting their dox and posting it, may or may not be legal, and he could be liable for it. But you
@The Proctor are safe*.
Of cause this all comes with an asterisk as these rules and laws don't prevent Paypal and all other corpos from blacklisting you or you getting dragged into lolsuits that you will probably win. but it will still cost you a few thousand $.
Personally I have no issue with anyone posting dox, particularly if the dox was shared by the "victim" herself on social media. The only exception are dox of minors and to a lesser extend dox containing addresses. But I have no rational, logical or even ideological reasoning for those exceptions - I just consider it tasteless.
SIKE ackchyually my based opinion is that doxxing is only good if it is done to people I don't like and bad if you dox people I like

enemy bad
