I haven't caught up on that clusterfuck, yet.

Too bad. He was always kind of based, but I guess he went too far with the edge.

Not too long ago there was a guy who was killed in a SWAT-ing.

It's kind of scary. I think people reason less morally when they are not directly connected to the outcome of an action. They would never storm with a rifle into someone's house.

anyone who swats or doxxes should be executed

I'm not sure.

i've been doxxed before and it ruined my life

This kind of draconian reaction, I think, is part of why SWATs are so deadly.

i had a fucking stalker from 4chan coming to my apartment building coming to find me

We always kind of go overboard with punishment in the US.

We send a group of highly armed people into someone's house just based on a phone call.

THat alone is crazy, IMHO

why do we do that?

Because people will always call for the most drastic measures.

Because overpowering works. They don't want to take chances, i guess

We could at least do some basic sanity checks.

There is some legislation in some states to prevent swatting

How do they go about it?

As for doxxing idk if they’ve done anything yet

It's not illegal.

You can release certain information, unless you release it to commit some other crime.

If you release it explicitly to have harm come to the person, it becomes illegal.

Idk for sure tbh but I think if they confirm that it’s fake then the caller is charged with a felony. Basically they screen the calls but again I don’t know for sure

Yes, that's illegal already.

Ok

I think it's a federal crime.

Ah

People have been using TTY and other ways to remain anonymous.

There are services for disabled people that can do relay.

Well Texas and Oklahoma (iirc) have put up some bills

Like typing your message that is then read out literally.

Sometimes people introduce bills just to seem as if they made some change.

Oh boi

A lot of politicians will pass redundant bills for an issue so they look good.

That tard is here

I don’t remember if they got passed

Sorry. I thought I still had you blocked.

Fixed.

Lol I must have missed dumb drama
