Daniel Brandt is an internet activist and privacy watchdog. He most notoriously known for his "doxing" of various Wikimedia employees, climaxing in the Essjay controversy. Reactions to this were - diverse, as privacy critics harshly criticizing his actions, and the Wikimedia employees were too busy yelling at Essjay for lying. Aside from his drama with Wikimedia, he has also been involved with subverting attempts by Google to log searches, (Scroogle), and revealing the true identities of people who use their real names.

Free Speech
Daniel Brandt allegedly states that he is for Free Speech. However, his attempts to find the real identities of various Wikipedia administrators has resulted in even the founder, Jimbo Wales, frowning on him. His most notable blog, JosephEvers.blogspot.com was a compilation of various personal information he gleaned from the internet. However, the reliability of it is dubious, at best, and has made itself the laughingstock of the internet in various occasions.
