Doxlighting

A digitallighting tactic where the release of personal information (doxxing) is combined with gaslighting techniques. The doxxer claims they were “forced” to reveal the information because of the target’s alleged behavior, or they frame the doxxing as “just sharing public info,” while knowing the real effect is terror and isolation. Doxlighting often follows a pattern: provoke, wait for reaction, doxx, then claim the doxx was a justified response to the target’s “harassment.”
Example: “After she ignored his bait for months, he posted her home address with the caption ‘She should be accountable for her actions.’ Doxlighting: releasing private information while pretending to be the victim.”

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
