Abstract
This paper discusses the problems of unique conduct that relate to and result from online harassment -- namely, doxing and swatting. The author analyzes existing laws that potentially regulate such conduct with a focus on data privacy. The author then argues the inadequacy of current statutes and presents alternative recommendations for amendments that would likely result in better regulation of doxing and swatting.
