Did Illinois do something based? Anti-Doxxing law to be tested.

While this guy aint the greatest, the state of Illinois does now have a "doxxing" law that he is using in court after a Facebook page essentially shit talked em. The charges he is filing are for according to the article "defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress". So yes, bitch nigga charges but this would solidify how effective the law is if someone does receive financial damage. Now, he hasn't lost any sort of jobs or any money really outside of just ego but, could this be the start of how Trannies lose power?

I doubt anything good will come of this, and it's a very broad law.

I don't like doxing. I don't like politicians. It's more likely this will be abused far beyond its perceived reach over it actually protecting anonymity.

CHICAGO - A Chicago man is suing dozens of women, along with Facebook and its parent company, Meta, for defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. It stems from comments written in an invite-only Facebook group, where women swap stories about people they've dated.

all sounds like stuff you can already sue people for without a new law
meta/facebook shouldn't be part of the lawsuit however

lol, I'd like to hear what they were saying about him in the private group chats.

Having laws against "doxxing" people is a terrible idea. We already have laws that prohibit the sharing of personal information obtained through illicit means. If you're posting information obtained through hacking or fraud, then you're already committing a crime. What this would criminalize is the act of looking up personal information people have willingly posted about themselves, and then posting that information they provided to somewhere else. Doesn't make sense unless the law also criminalizes uploading personally identifiable information to the Internet in the first place.

Hmm, seems like its more of the same. Sound's about right for Illinois now that I think about it.

Could this be used to hurt Kiwifarms?

All the personal information is hidden behind a login screen, so maybe not. I agree with 0 2.
