一家名为 Icepick 的网站公开了美国政府雇员的职务身份信息,随后遭到国土安全部(DHS)合同商 ZeroFox 以“人肉搜索”为由发出的下架通知 1。ZeroFox 代表美国政府机构向托管方提出针对域名 icepi.cx 的下架要求 1。根据泄露的备忘录,该项目内部被称为“人肉搜索缓解计划(Doxing Mitigation Initiative)”,且 DHS 于 2026 年 7 月与 ZeroFox 签署了涵盖美国移民和海关执法局(ICE)及国土安全调查局的 1500 万美元合同 1。
尽管网站托管方拒绝了下架请求,认为 Icepick 发布的是政府官员在行使公权力时的身份信息,属于服务于公众利益的问责新闻而非非法人肉搜索,但域名注册商 CentralNic 随后单方面将 icepi.cx 置于 serverHold 状态,导致域名解析中断 1。目前该站点已迁移至新域名重新上线 1。这一事件引发了关于政府通过外包公司进行自动化内容审查及其对言论自由影响的讨论 1。此外,ZeroFox 此前曾将和平抗议者标记为“威胁行动者”,其商业模式依赖自动检测和高频率下架通知 1。
A website named Icepick, which publicly discloses the identity and role information of US government employees, has faced takedown demands from ZeroFox, a contractor for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 1. The DHS signed a $15 million contract with ZeroFox in July 2026 that covers Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), prompting the firm to issue a removal notice against the site icepi.cx under the justification of doxing 1. However, the web host refused the request, arguing that Icepick publishes information about government officials acting in their public capacity, which constitutes accountability journalism rather than illegal privacy invasion 1.
Despite the host's refusal, domain registrar CentralNic unilaterally placed the icepi.cx domain on serverHold status, breaking name resolution and temporarily taking the site offline 1. The site has since migrated to a new domain and is accessible again 1. According to leaked memos reported by The Intercept, the project behind these efforts is internally designated as the "Doxing Mitigation Initiative" 1. This incident highlights concerns regarding automated content moderation through outsourced contracts, especially given ZeroFox’s business model relies on high-frequency takedown notices and automated detection, with prior instances of labeling peaceful protesters as "threat actors" 1.
