I guess the argument is did they break X's ToS?

2600 Magazine says they didn't. They posted names and email addresses of DOGE employees.

My partner works for the government in a mid level management position. I'd be pissed if someone on X posted her name and email address in an article that borderline encouraged people to email her in a not so positive manner.

It seems that X deems names and email addresses to be personal info. I'm pretty sure this was in Twitters ToS pre-Musk as well.

Why does breaking X's ToS not warrant an account suspension? You can even sneeze loudly in some subreddits without falling afoul of inciting violence.

Perhaps this is a shift away from cancel culture? I don't see why that's a bad thing.

My only question is why?

The topic at hand seems a stretch compared to normal content from the 2600 crew and the background they come from, doxxing (anyone) (for whatever reason) on a social media account (irregardless of who runs it) doesn't seem like a good idea.

Another win for Musk's free speech absolutism! Extremely hardcore!
