Caretaker Minister Ferdinand Grapperhaus of Justice and Security submitted a legislative proposal to make doxing - sharing personal data of another to frighten or intimidate them - a punishable offense. According to the Minister, doxing has become far too easy with the rise of the internet and social media and it is high time to make it easier to tackle this type of threat.
In Germany doxing is used as powerful tool against fahr right activists and neo Nazis… And I’m pretty sure that would be the first target of repression of there would be a law like this in Germany
I’d say the amount of typical Neo-Nazis (I am not talking about some kind of white collar fascists which are publicly known) is very low in Holland in comparison to Germany. I also think that doxing can be very painful in some cases, where it can possibly drive people to suicide (Thinking about some recent news in the open source world).
oh I hadn’t thought of that.
