Shouldn't we go after the people actually committing the crime? Swatting does not occur because of corporations. It occurs because a few people abuse the emergency response system. The fix is to punish people who abuse the system. Preferably with long jail sentences.

Let's do both. There's two crimes:

1 - Giving away info without consent

2 - The crime of abusing police resources.

I'd argue the police are also depriving people of rights, a third crime.
