No. Doxxing—publishing private personal information with intent to harass or harm—violates Arkansas’s 2023 cyberharassment statute (Ark. Code § 5-41-108) and may trigger civil liability under tort law. Local prosecutors in Pulaski and Washington Counties have aggressively pursued cases under this framework, reflecting a statewide 2026 enforcement priority targeting digital vigilantism.
