Peace officers, military personnel and prosecutors in recent years have faced a growing threat from the practice known as “doxxing” in which their personal, private information is obtained, sometimes through legal means and sometimes illegally, and spread online via a variety of social media. In most cases the information posted online has included home addresses, obviously putting law enforcement and military personnel, and their families, at great risk.
Some states, particularly Alabama, have moved to protect America’s heroes with legislation outlawing the practice and imposing penalties on those who participate in the practice.
There is also a federal statute to protect federal law enforcement personnel.
Federal law 18 USC section 119 protects individuals performing official duties from having their personal information disseminated including their Social Security number, home address, phone number, etc. as well as like information of or on their family members. Using mail, phone or internet also exposes the perpetrator to a violation of interstate crime linking this back to this federal statute for the federal protection of state and local personnel for similar actions.
Unfortunately, as is the case on all too many issues, federal prosecutors appear to have scarcely utilized the federal statute.
Recently, the practice of doxxing escalated to a new level when a Rolling Stone “journalist” doxxed the US Army Delta Force commander who led the raid to capture Venezuelan communist dictator Nicolas Maduro.
Currently no protection exists for military personnel from doxxing. The federal statute and the few state laws currently in force mention nothing about military personnel.

And the article doesn’t name the Rolling Stone “journalist.” How ironic.
Dox right back. Start by sending drones over the billionaire leftist’s estates and compounds.
And, maybe even conspiracy when a group is involved in encouraging.
Just guesses, I yield to all legal whizzes who know more than I on the topic.
We need to dox the doxxers.
If anyone knows of a group doing this, I would like to donate.
Fighting fire with fire never seems to occur to the conservative movement.
Bingo!
In general, I'm not a big fan of public servants hiding from the people whom they supposedly serve.
Rolling Stone has become an enemy propaganda machine.
I’m old enough to remember when it was about music.
😑
That’s why we’re the Stupid Party
No fire in the belly.
😕
The problem is that we are in the early stages of the left doxing, as the hard left hardens more into actions, there will be some killings, not just nut killings of a public figure but assassinations of federal cops, even the cartels and enemy nations may lend some secret support to the left for immigration and customs terrorism with or without the left knowing it is cartel assistance or foreign government assistance.
“it seems to me that anti-stalking statutes could be applied to the act of doxing”
We are at the end of our shifts. If you follow, it’s one act of following. We will stop and tell you not to follow. After two post-workday following acts, you’ll get two wrist bracelets and meals on Uncle Sam.
Counter Dox ,LOL
Oh, it occurs to them, but Leftist judges would throw the book at conservatives, but not the Leftists
Once people start supporting for harassment
Shoot, don’t donate; activate! Doing it yourself is easy thanks to Grok. There’s been a lot of fussing online about how simple it is (https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/grok-doxxing) and they’re right.
May we FReepers should just start going for it!
Exactly.
It is WAY past time for the left to be repaid in kind.
I would favor more severe penalties to deter the practice rather than retaliation which will just lead to escalation and more violence (probably falling disproportionately on the good guys). To publish addresses with intent to facilitate harassment should carry a stiff fine and a moderate jail sentence. If the publication leads to any serious assault or death then the doxxer should be considered an accessory to that crime.
When leftists do it now, I don’t perceive that there are ever any legal repercussions at all. I know of cases where social justice warriors have been doxxed and the courts then took their complaints seriously (although not as stand-alone offences, more in terms of adding harm to related lawsuit damage claims). I was myself doxxed by leftists but hadn’t realized that anyone wasn’t already aware who I was so it was a kind of shadow doxxing. “Peter O’Donnell is really (Some Other Name) is not much of a doxxing when nobody knows who Peter O’Donnell OR Some Other Name are anyway. And it’s especially ironic to doxx an internet poster who just wishes they could get some point across to an uncaring society around them. “The guy making the obscure point you are not receiving due to a combination of ignorance and lack of concern just happens to be Some Other Name living at 1984 Orwell Street.” Oh really said Joe and Jane Sixpack of Every Number Every Street Everytown.
I would argue terrorism charges as well. After all, isn’t the point of the doxxing to inflict fear with the purpose of influencing some political outcome?
Good point, good addition. Tks!
