The amended ordinance, effective 8 Oct., would create a “two-tier offence for disclosing personal data without consent,” empowers the privacy commissioner to investigate and prosecute doxxing offenses, and grants the commissioner power to fine those who fail to remove doxxing data from their platforms.
