People are getting fired for allegedly celebrating Charlie Kirks murder. It looks like a coordinated effort
https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/13/business/charlie-kirk-death-fired-comments
Dozens of social media posts and messages about the murder of Charlie Kirk, including some that celebrated his death, are being spotlighted by conservative activists, Republican elected officials and a doxxing website as part of an online campaign to punish the posters behind the messages.
Prominent far-right influencer Laura Loomer, a US senator, and a site called Expose Charlies Murderers have all drawn attention to people who have posted messages about Kirks Wednesday assassination.
The campaigns show how social media posts or personal messages even by accounts with few followers or from people who are not public figures could easily be surfaced and publicized, and peoples personal information can be spread across the internet at a time when doxxing is easier than ever.
The Charlies Murderers site, whose domain was registered anonymously and which says it is not a doxxing site, claims it has received nearly 30,000 submissions, according to a message on the sites front page on midday Saturday. Currently, there are a few dozen submissions published on the site. 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.

(5,252 posts)they are likely to shut it down... particularly if the web host themselves become subject to attack on social media for hosting this site...
I'll leave it to others to research the host and their contact information,
I'm out of practice for that...

(10,428 posts)Well, we knew they weren't very bright.
Things people have gotten fired or death threats for saying (supposedly celebrating Kirk's death):
None of those quotes are "celebratory". The only 2 that could even be considered remotely close are "America became greater today" and This may not be the obituary we were all hoping to wake up to, but it is a close second for me. This should scare everyone that people are getting fired just because they dared to say something critical or negative about a truly hateful bigot. What's worse, is many of them simply pointed out the hateful things that Kirk himself said. It's Censorship of anything the slightest bit critical of right wing politics and they're clearly trying to completely silence all opposing viewpoints.
