Description
Victims of online harassment here in California may soon have a new tool to protect themselves.
Newly proposed state legislation would let victims of 'doxing' — or publishing someone's private information online to harass, intimidate, or embarrass them — take their case to court.
Here in California, while doxing is considered a crime under the state's criminal code, there are no civil protections in place for victims.
This new bill aims to change that by giving those victims a chance to sue their cyber-attackers and seek justice on their own.
