"A coordinated online doxxing campaign has emerged in the wake of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk's killing, targeting academics, teachers, government employees and others who have posted critical remarks about him. At least 15 people have been fired or suspended from their jobs after discussing the killing online, according to a Reuters tally on Saturday based on interviews, public statements and local press reports. The total includes journalists, academic workers and teachers."
"On Friday, a junior Nasdaq employee was fired over her posts related to Kirk. Others have been subjected to torrents of online abuse or seen their offices flooded with calls demanding they be fired, part of a surge in right-wing rage that has followed the killing. Chaya Raichik, who runs the right-wing Libs of TikTok account and is known for her anti-immigrant activism, is at the forefront of the campaign."
