Doxxing that results in harassment should be a federal crime--intent not required. Harassment, by itself, also needs to start being taken far more seriously.

Doxxing that results in harassment should be a federal crime--intent not required. Harassment, by itself, also needs to start being taken far more seriously. These should be similar to wiretap laws or photo credits. And they should have a massive fines behind them. This is especially true if it costs someone their job when what they were doing is legal--both employer and harasser should get big fines.
The Internet makes things too asymmetric--the weak need protection and the guilty get away with it because it isn't worth prosecuting.
- porkbeer 3y agoThe issue is most doxxing is just 'revealing' already public information. I will stick with freedom of speech and not acting in a way that doxxing would matter. I also denounce, publicly, the current actions of israel. See how easy that is?
