Far-right groups are doxxing people who criticize Charlie Kirk's death

"The assassination of Charlie Kirk is widening the political divide in America-and some people who have made critical remarks about the conservative icon are finding their personal information being posted online, opening them up to harassment and threats. One site, called " Expose Charlie's Murderers," has been taken offline after posting the names of 41 people that it claimed were "supporting political violence online." The site reportedly said it was working on a backlog of over 20,000 submissions before it was taken down."

"While the site claimed it was not a doxxing site (one that exposes private or identifying information about a person), a message on its front page Saturday read: "This website will soon be converted into a searchable database of all 30,000 submissions, filterable by general location and job industry. This is a permanent and continuously updating archive of Radical activists calling for violence." The domain was registered anonymously."

The assassination of Charlie Kirk is deepening political divisions in the United States and critics of the conservative figure are having their personal information posted online, exposing them to harassment and threats. A website called " Expose Charlie's Murderers" was taken offline after posting 41 names and saying it had a backlog of over 20,000 submissions. The site paired named individuals with screenshots of alleged comments ranging from "he got what he deserved" to critical statements that denounced violence. A front-page message promised a searchable database of 30,000 submissions filterable by location and job industry. The domain was registered anonymously. Sites of this type have a history of reappearing on overseas hosts or private servers. A Canadian influencer named Rachel Gilmore said she never celebrated Kirk's death but reported receiving threats including sexual assault and death; she described the experience as making her last 48 hours a living hell and said people were using the situation to get "their pound of flesh." Government officials have not doxxed critics of Kirk since his murder.
