Sen. Avard Says, Dietsch List is Doxxing, Citizens Could Sue

State Senator Kevin Avard was a guest on Rock, Paper Hand Grenades, and the topic of the Diestch list raised its amusing little head. If you missed it, former state Senator Jeanne Dietsch had been compiling a list of New Hampshire residents labeled as anti-democracy extremists (with the help of your ‘neighbors’).

We were alerted to it and made a copy before our report inspired Dietsch to ditch the list, by which I mean make it private (it had been publicly accessible as a Google Doc). Be that as it may, the current list presents opportunities for ridicule and our amusement, but when it came up on the podcast, Sen. Avard suggested that it was akin to doxxing, and he imagines that non-public citizens on the list could do a class action lawsuit against Dietsch.

That would be interesting.

Here’s the clip.

I’m not a lawyer and do not play one on the internet, but if you are on the list and not a public person and like talking to your lawyer, get their opinion. You might have a case.
