Summary
Interstate Doxxing Prevention Act This bill amends the federal criminal code to make it a crime to use the mail or any facility or means of interstate commerce to knowingly publish (or attempt or conspire to publish) personally identifiable information of another person with the intent to threaten, intimidate, harass, or stalk, and as a result, place that person in reasonable fear of death or seriously bodily injury to that person, or to that person's family member or intimate partner. A violator is subject to criminal penalties—a fine, a prison term of up to five years, or both—and civil liability.
