Under existing law, a person commits the crime of doxing if he or she intentionally electronically shares personal identifying information of another individual with the intent that others will use that information to harass or harm the other individual, and the other individual is actually harassed or harmed. This bill would further provide that a person commits the crime of doxing if he or she intentionally electronically shares personal identifying information of another individual with the intent that others will use that information to harass or harm the other individual, regardless of whether the individual is actually harmed. This bill would also further provide for penalties of initial and subsequent violations.
