Basically during the VP debate an argument fhtagn made ended up with me researching the laws against doxxing and similar acts in Atlasia. And it turns out it is perfectly legal as long as you don't commit electoral intimidation on top of it! (it is an aggravant in that case).

While doxxing is already against the TOS of Atlas and there would definitely be modding consequences, there should also be Atlasia consequences assuming the person is a player (and mods don't ban them). This bill seeks to criminalize doxxing and blackmail, making them illegal to do.

I support this bill.

Would Senator Tack be in favor of adding the following?

Quote
(o) Doxxing. This offense shall be defined as the disclosal of the personal information of any user of the Atlas Forum either obtained illegally or posted with malicious intent against their will by a citizen of Atlasia.

I think it may serve us to clarify that doxxing is not simply releasing someone's IRL name, but rather that the purpose of doing so is to intimidate or harass another individual. This would allow doxxing to be prosecuted as assault.

Well, this would be a big change in our criminal code, one that affects players and not NPCs, so maybe a bit of comment from one of the justices would be in order just in case?

I oppose this amendment. Malicious intent is way too vague.
"Against their will" is better: that means that they need the consent of the guy so there is no interpretation possible.

No objection.

I find the bill to be quite a good one, all in all.
