He has absolutely no right to dox people. I don’t care what this nation reporter thinks.

He needs to be fired, immediately.

“He has absolutely no right to dox people. I don’t care what this nation reporter thinks.”

Agree - how would they like it if people published the schools their kids go to and their schedules?

(not that I know any of this, but even if I did, I would never publish it)

In California, doxing is considered a form of cyberstalking.
California Penal Code §646.9:
1. A Person willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly followed or harassed another person.

Penal Code §646.9(e) defines harassed as a "knowing and willful course of conduct directed at a specific person
 that seriously alarms, annoys, torments, or terrorizes the person, and that serves no legitimate purpose. This 
course of conduct must be such as would cause a reasonable person to suffer substantial emotional distress and 
must actually cause substantial emotional distress."

Course of conduct is defined as a "pattern of conduct composed of a series of acts over a period of time, however 
short, evidencing a continuity of purpose." Constitutionally protected activity is not included within the meaning 
of course of conduct. Repeatedly is defined as "on more than one occasion."


2.That person following or harassing made a credible threat. Penal Code §646.9(g) has redefined the term credible threat to encompass not only a verbal or written threat, including that performed through the use of an electronic communication device (i.e. fax, e-mail, pagers, etc.), but also "a threat implied by a pattern of conduct or a combination of verbal, written, or electronically communicated statements and conduct made with the intent to place the person that is the target of the threat in reasonable fear for his or her safety or the safety of his or her immediate family and made with the apparent ability to carry out the threat so as to cause the person who is the target of the threat to reasonably fear for his or her safety or the safety of his or her immediate family." Their threat does not need to be direct. The credible threat made by the stalker must be against the personal safety of the victim or the victim's immediate family. The current test of credible threat is: 1) whether or not a reasonable person would fear for his or her safety, or the safety of his or her immediate family; 2) did the victim believe the suspect would carry out the threat, and 3) did this threat actually cause substantial emotional distress to the victim.


--**--
He didn't threaten the safety of anyone, that I read.. but did threaten boycott, so I don't think this would fall under the Penal Code listed above; although it does mention that the threat doesn't need to be direct.

It’s a free country... he can say what he wants to say... and we can boycott his business too.
