Creates federal penalties for sharing private information online to harm or threaten people.
The problem
Doxing—publishing someone's private details online—can lead to harassment, threats, and violence. This practice targets activists, officials, and private citizens.
The proposal
Establishes federal crimes for doxing with intent to harm, threaten, or intimidate. Sets penalties and allows prosecution in federal court.
The impact
Affects online users, social media platforms, law enforcement, and people targeted by harassment. Creates new federal offense and enforcement mechanisms.
Gives federal law enforcement tools to prosecute doxing that causes real harm. Helps protect activists, journalists, and ordinary citizens from coordinated attacks.
Federal penalties may discourage organized doxing efforts. Creates accountability for those who share private information to threaten others.
Provides clear federal definition of doxing as a crime. Helps prosecutors and courts handle these cases consistently across states.
Covers doxing cases that don't fit existing laws. Allows federal prosecution when state laws don't apply or are insufficient.
Defining doxing legally is difficult. Law might punish legitimate sharing of public information, investigative journalism, or activism.
Terms like 'intent to harm' are subjective. Prosecutors might use the law too broadly against protected speech or reporting.
Proving intent online is hard. Anonymity makes catching doxers difficult, so law may help only in obvious cases.
People exposing wrongdoing sometimes share public or leaked information. Law could criminalize legitimate exposés if poorly written.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
No donor data found for current cycle
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
