In their wordsVerbatim, exactly as submitted
“This should be passed knowing the current state of protesting around the country. We should not be doxxing anyone. Its dangerous ??”
“I have concerns regarding HB 1367. While I agree that the malicious use of personal information to harass, threaten, or endanger others should be punishable, any law addressing “doxing” must be narrowly and precisely defined.…”
“Do not use money for ice when we have no money for school lunches for kids!”
“HB 1367 attempts to address real concerns but does so in a way that is overly broad, duplicative, and dangerous to free speech and civic engagement.”
“Testimony on HB 1367: Establishing a Criminal Offense of Doxing I oppose HB 1367 due to its fundamentally flawed understanding of what constitutes doxing, particularly concerning public officials.…”
