- shadowgovt 4y agoDoxxing is not illegal in the US. It may be a component of another crime, such as slander or incitement to violence. If the individual in question believes this organization has done either of those things, they are welcome to involve the law (as the other party is doing).

- shadowgovt 4y agoMy apologies; I'm trying to follow you, but as best I can tell 15 USC 43 is "The principal office of the Commission shall be in the city of Washington, but it may meet and exercise all its powers at any other place. The Commission may, by one or more of its members, or by such examiners as it may designate, prosecute any inquiry necessary to its duties in any part of the United States." (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/43 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/43) Do you have some snippets of the text of the law you're thinking of that I can search to see what you mean?

- shadowgovt 4y agoAs I did and it didn't match your description, I'd welcome a link or text reference to the law you were referring to.
