[CNN] [SJL, DiFi] "Intern" arrested for doxing Republican lawmakers

Glad they got him. They should make an example of him of course I doubt anything would deter mentally unstable people like him. It is a shme the left has warped these peoples minds like this. Stuff like this is never acceptable. Also, people like Maxine Waters who push this type of BS are scum.

 

Doxxing is wrong. Glad he's been arrested. It seems, however, that public awareness of the moral implications of doxxing is still in early maturation. People's imaginations don't seem to reach much beyond a scenario of mild, crowdsourced harassment by phone and mail. I think we'll get to a place eventually where people will better understand the implications and stop thinking of it as merely a prank.

 

what if a tremendous guy gave out personal information of a mexican reporter out of spite?
punish it both ways.

 

Of course that should be punished as well. Is someone saying otherwise?

 

Isn't this just disseminating public information? I don't see anyone protecting my cell number.

 

What if their outed a CIA Agent?
What should be done about that?

Rocket River

 

No, I'm afraid its not just disseminating public information.

 

Too bad he wasn't a Republican, he'd have been promoted

 

SheJack may have some splainin to do.

 

Doxing is never cool. Glad he was busted. At least he didn't SWAT them, I guess?

I'm honestly surprised that someone who isn't a health care worker would have access to medical files and information. I thought that was fairly illegal by itself, and HIPPA put pretty solid controls on the ability to access that info.

 

If you read some of the articles, it wasn't just the doxxing. To obtain some of the information, he apparently broke into a place he wasn't supposed to and accessed computers he wasn't supposed to have access to. So he's a Democratic staffer that has worked in several prominent Democratic offices, most recently our very own SJL. He broke into a place that was off limits to steal information about political opponents. It seems I remember my Dad mentioning something like this happening in the 70s.
