Bill overview
This bill aims to establish a legal right for individuals to be protected from ‘doxing,’ which is the act of publicly revealing someone’s personal information, such as their address or phone number, with malicious intent. It seeks to prevent this type of harassment and intimidation by creating a framework for addressing doxing incidents. The legislation would likely outline procedures for reporting doxing and potentially provide legal recourse for victims. This bill builds upon previous attempts to address this issue in Massachusetts.
