Stop the Doxx Act

This bill would make it a federal crime to knowingly publish or make public the home address, personal phone number, personal email, or other identifying information of a law enforcement officer, prosecutor, or judge, or their immediate family member, with intent to threaten, intimidate, or help bring about violence against them. Penalties would be up to 10 years in prison for a first offense and up to 20 years for later offenses, rising to 30 or 40 years if the offense results in injury or death. Victims could sue in federal court for damages, court orders, and attorney's fees. The Attorney General would also create a free, yearly updated training program for these officials on protecting personal information online.
