Illinois may allow doxing victims to sue harassers thanks to new bill – WCIA (Champaign)

Doxing is to publicly identify or publish private information - like phone numbers or addresses -  about someone especially as a form of punishment or revenge. A proposal to allow victims of doxing the right to a civil private right of action for damages to help deter bad actors on the Internet has passed the Senate and now heads to the governor’s desk.
