ACTION ALERT: PROTECT STUDENTS FROM DOXXING – Urge the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee to PASS SB 107
Your Voice is Needed! Protect Maryland Students from Harmful Online Attacks
Students across Maryland are facing an alarming rise in online harassment, threats, and doxxing—when personal information is shared publicly to intimidate or harm them. Act now to protect their safety and privacy.
SB 107, introduced by State Senator Shaneka Henson, is a crucial bill that would enhance penalties for the distribution of a student’s personal identifying information or images without their consent if it is done with intent to harm or with a reckless disregard for their safety.
WHY THIS BILL MATTERS:
✔ Protects Students from Harassment: Prevents bad actors from targeting students by exposing their private information.
✔ Safeguards Privacy: Helps ensure that personal details like home addresses, phone numbers, and school locations cannot be weaponized.
✔ Deters Online Attacks: Establishes clear consequences for those who engage in doxxing, helping to create a safer online environment for students.
✔ Supports Free Speech While Preventing Harm: This bill carefully balances First Amendment rights with the need to protect students from targeted harassment.
Take Action Today! The Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee is hearing this bill on Tuesday, Jan. 27 and they need to hear from you.
Tell them to PASS SB 107 to help protect Maryland students from doxxing and online threats.
