Australia to Criminalize Doxxing Following Jewish Data Leak

The Australian government plans to outlaw doxxing after pro-Palestinian activists published personal details of hundreds of Jewish people, proposing laws that involve issuing take-down notices to social media platforms and imposing fines for the intimidation tactic. The move comes in response to reports of increased antisemitism in Australia since Israel's conflict with Hamas. While the plan was welcomed by the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, some experts question how such a law could be effectively enforced, suggesting that social media companies bear the primary responsibility.
