Ineke Sluiter, president of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), called it \u201cunacceptable\u201d; a sentiment echoed by Pieter Duisenberg, chair of the Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU). Bouras is not the only academic whose private personal information has been made public. It also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rtlnieuws.nl\/nieuws\/nederland\/artikel\/5230658\/bedreiging-jaap-van-dissel-adres-rivm-vrouwen-telegram-vlag\">happened<\/a> to the head of the RIVM, Jaap van Dissel, for example. The VSNU has been working on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/2021\/05\/14\/universities-working-on-help-for-harassed-scientists\/?noredirect=en_US\">guidance<\/a> for academics who are threatened or intimidated in this way.<\/p>\n<p>A number of political parties have already posed questions about VizierOpLinks. This was again the topic of discussion on Tuesday when, during a plenary debate, SP MP Renske Leijten asked for the government\u2019s opinion on the actions of these kind of \u201cintimidation platforms\u201d. Her words were seconded by GroenLinks. \u201cPutting up stickers may seem quite innocent to us\u201d, MP Lisa Westerveld said, \u201cbut it also means that people know where you live.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Outgoing Minister of Social Affairs Koolmees called the actions, in his own words, \u201cintimidating and offensive\u201d. He said the Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office was investigating whether such acts are punishable by law and whether the perpetrators could be charged.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Doxing<\/h2><p>On Thursday, VVD MP Ingrid Michon-Derkzen went a step further. She tabled an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tweedekamer.nl\/kamerstukken\/amendementen\/detail?id=2021Z09071&amp;did=2021D19918\">amendment<\/a> calling for publication of private personal details for the purpose of intimidation to be made a punishable offence. In addition to academics, this kind of action \u2014 also called \u201cdoxing\u201d \u2014 is increasingly targeting journalists, police officers, healthcare workers and politicians, Michon-Derkzen asserted.<\/p>\n<p>Doxing is becoming more common online, she said, for example when someone\u2019s home address is posted on social media by malicious opponents. As far as the VVD is concerned, fishing for this kind of information online should also be made illegal, for example by Tweeting, \u201cDo we know where this person lives?\u201d The same holds for soliciting information about where someone\u2019s child goes to school or his or her partner\u2019s place of work.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Punishable<\/h2><p>Minister of Justice Grapperhaus emphasised that he thinks doxing should \u201creally be punishable\u201d. But care is needed when making amendments to the law, he cautioned. That this reason prompted him to advise against the amendment caused him \u201ca great deal of difficulty\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Grapperhaus promised to return with concrete draft legislation before the summer recess that \u201cwith some legal fine-tuning would cover in broad outline\u201d the amendment submitted by the VVD. He called doxing a \u201cdisgusting phenomenon\u201d, and thus proposed that \u201cwe have to get down to work quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michon-Derkzen exchanged her amendment for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tweedekamer.nl\/kamerstukken\/moties\/detail?id=2021Z09177&amp;did=2021D20241\">motion<\/a> asking the government to table its promised draft legislation quickly. That motion was submitted by D66, CDA, SP, ChristenUnie, PvdA and SGP; there\u2019s no doubt it will be adopted on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/persons\" class=\"mt-6 md:mt-8 lg:mt-10\"
