    Seems like a real mixed bag, leaning towards a negative because it requires a civil lawsuit. On one hand sure, good, you can sue harassers at the source. On the other hand how many nasty things like neo-nazi group membership are brought to light through doxxing and will also become illegal. and since it requires you bring suit, this will protect the people with more money/resources more often than not.
