How a new state law introduced by gonggershowitz allows doxing victims to hold their online harassers accountable ADLMidwest
The UpRising Bakery and Cafe in Lake in the Hills made national news last year when its plan to hold an all-ages drag brunch sparked not just outcry and protests but threats of violence against its owner and employees, and multiple instances of vandalism to the business.
Doxing is defined as publishing private or identifying information about a person on the internet, typically with malicious intent. Among the doxing victims who testified on behalf of the bill in Springfield was Monique Ward. The Chicago woman said she has endured an online harassment campaign by the father of her children, who used social media to offer strangers a sort of bounty on Ward and their kids -- $25 for a photo of them and $50 for a video -- and posted information about where she works and lives.
"It continues to be overly broad and inclusive of protected speech -- namely, the inclusion of both truly publicly available information as well as private conversations between more than two people," Ed Yohnka, director of communications and public policy for the ACLU of Illinois, told us via email."For that reason, we opposed the final bill."
