About
StoneToss Doxxing refers to Antifa members doxxing Spring, Texas resident Hans Kristian Graebener as the person allegedly behind the StoneToss and RedPanels webcomics. The doxxing information was shared via X / Twitter and a blog post in mid-March 2024 and was followed by StoneToss' purported identity becoming a viral topic of discussions and memes online.
Background
On March 12th, 2024, the Antifa groups Anonymous Comrades Collective and Late-Night Anti-Fascists doxxed the person suspected to be the artist behind the StoneToss comics and its precursor RedPanels,[1] revealing the identity of Hans Kristian Graebener, a 34-year-old resident of Spring, Texas who used to work as a security guard and an IT specialist.
The 99-part thread about the doxxing submitted by X[2] / Twitter user @AnonCommieStan received over 6,800 reposts and 17,000 likes within several hours. The thread reviewed the history of RedPanels and StoneToss comics and their themes of antisemitism, racism and transphobia, and explained the process of how StoneToss' alleged identity was discovered.
The investigators used a combination of information from RedPanels' 2016 Reddit AMA, Gab and Bitcoin forum leaks, LinkedIn and other sources to pinpoint Hans Kristian Graebener, a 34-year-old Spring, Texas resident of Puerto Rican heritage who previously worked as a security guard for a soy company and an IT specialist, as the alleged identity of StoneToss (posts from the X thread shown below).

Online Reactions
The doxxing was followed by an influx of memes about StoneToss' identity being revealed, including memes about his purportedly non-white heritage. For example, on March 12th, 2024, X[3] user @ProsinPlanet posted a meme that received over 280 reposts and 5,100 likes in one day (shown below, left). On the same day, X[4] user @terminallyOL made a post that received over 250 reposts and 2,300 likes in the same period (shown below, right).
The thread also inspired discourse about the ethicality of doxxing, with some users posting memes that argued doxxing StoneToss felt justified due to his political views. For example, on March 12th, X[5] user @matttbastard posted a Freedom of Speech meme that received over 3,700 reposts and 41,000 likes in one day (shown below, left).
Twitter Policy Update
On March 22nd, 2024, Twitter updated its privacy policy to ban revealing the name of an anonymous account with the intent to make others harass that person. Many believed it was a direct response to the StoneToss dox, and voiced outrage that the change had been made to apparently protect a right-wing figure when other accounts such as LibsOfTikTok and Andy Ngo had been doing just that towards left-wing figures and activists without punishment.
