I don’t see how this sort of law is workable in reality. For every sympathetic person who gets “doxxed,” there’s someone who got called out for being human scum and fired. Like this lawsuit: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/investigations/2023/08/07/patriot-front-doxxing-lawsuit/70517798007/
This feels like every law originally intended to stop terrorism that’s now just used to harass protesters. Like when dozens of Atlanta Cop City protestors got arrested for domestic terrorism and then the people organizing the bail fund got arrested for charity fraud. Some people handing out flyers about the police shooting a protester were arrested for harassing the cop who (apparently) shot him.
