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 ??”
— julie sims, newportsupports
“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.…”
