Live in Illinois? Now you can get relief for Doxxing

Hello folks,

Going through Mastodon and I think this should be posted.

BrianKrebs: Doxing victims in Illinois now have the ability to hold their attacker accountable after Governor J.B. Pritzker signed the Civil Liability for Doxing Act (House Bill 2954) into law on Friday.

Introduced by State Representative Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz (D-17) and sponsored by State Senator Julie Morrison (D-29), the new law fills a significant gap in Illinois law and provides victims with legal recourse when bad actors publish their personally identifiable information with the intent to cause harm. HB 2954 unanimously passed out of both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly.

GOVERNOR PRITZKER SIGNS ANTI-DOXING BILL INTO LAW; ILINOIS VICTIMS OF DOXING GAIN ABILITY TO RECEIVE CIVIL RECOURSE FOR ONLINE HATE AND HARRASSMENT is the article, and I concure. I hope this is a start to end handing out personal information to harm people.
