No. Doxxing—revealing private personal data without consent—violates Argentina’s data protection and criminal laws. The Agencia de Acceso a la Información Pública (AAIP) enforces Ley 25.326 (Habeas Data Law), while Ley 26.388 criminalizes cyberharassment. Courts have upheld penalties under Código Penal Art. 153 (violation of privacy) and Art. 155 (defamation), with 2024 amendments expanding protections for digital identity.
Key Regulations for Doxxing in Argentina
- Ley 25.326 (Habeas Data Law): Mandates explicit consent for processing personal data; unauthorized disclosure triggers fines up to ARS 10M (≈USD 11,000) under AAIP oversight. Recent 2026 guidelines clarify liability for social media platforms hosting doxxed content.
- Código Penal Art. 153 & 155: Imposes 1–4 years imprisonment for violating privacy or disseminating defamatory personal data. Aggravated penalties apply if doxxing incites violence or targets minors.
- Ley 26.388 (Cybercrime Law): Criminalizes digital harassment, including doxxing, with penalties up to 6 years for severe cases. Courts increasingly apply this to anonymous online threats under Ley 27.401 (2023 amendments).
