Doxxing is a federal crime in some cases
Rappers Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion have been involved in an ongoing feud. Recently, Minaj’s fans have been accused of doxxing, the act of publicly sharing private or identifying information without permission, by revealing the location of Megan Thee Stallion’s mother’s gravesite. While doxxing is a federal crime in the U.S., it only protects certain individuals, not everyone. The incident involving Minaj’s fans would not be considered a federal offense, but it may be against the law in specific states as many have their own doxxing laws. Also, doxxing could lead to charges if connected with other crimes like stalking or harassment. The concept of doxxing has seen a recent spike in Google searches.
