NJ looks to add doxing, swatting to hate crime law

NJ looks to add doxing, swatting to hate crime law TRENTON State lawmakers are moving to expand New Jersey’s bias intimidation law, in response to a report published last October by a state Interagency Task Force to Combat Youth Bias that found an alarming rise in incidents. A bill endorsed by the Assembly Homeland Security and State Preparedness Committee would make swatting, a false public alarm that prompts a law enforcement response, and doxing, a form of digital cyber-harassment by publishing of personal information, eligible to be considered bias crimes. It would also allow someone to seek punitive damages for bias intimidation through a civil lawsuit.
