Oregon. Protect All from DOXXING

What’s happening? Oregon is considering HB 3047 (2021 |OR) that would create a civil cause of action for doxxing any person in Oregon. Doxxing is releasing a person’s personal information with an intent to harass the person.

Why is this important? Doxxing statutes are growing in popularity and growing in specificity. Some only apply to certain professions like law enforcement.

How will this be important? We’re just learning new online bad acts, and sometimes those bills can be hijacked by Open Records and disclosure amendments. Be aware.
