General Assembly Makes Move to Criminalize Doxing

Indiana took a step toward criminalizing doxing Tuesday as a Senate committee approved a measure targeting the malicious online sharing of personal information. The legislation would make it a crime to post someone’s information online with the intent to threaten or scare them.
Lawmakers narrowed the bill by removing coworkers from the definition of connected people and limiting “personal information” to just names. The bill now moves to the full Senate, with further changes possible, said State Senate committee chair Aaron Freeman.
