Congressional reporter Lisa Desjardins: One thing I’ve noticed in the past few days is a rise in conservatives doxxing or publishing the personal information of people — individuals who are not remotely famous, who may have in some cases celebrated the death of Charlie Kirk. As you said, that’s something obviously deplorable to do. But some — in some cases, maybe not gone that far, just offended some folks. We spoke to someone from Wired magazine who’s covering this, talking about specifically this moment.

David Gilbert, Wired: I’ve spoken to multiple people this week who have had, you know, their employment terminated as a result of what they posted online. In some cases, they were celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death. In other cases, it was much, much less than that. And they were just making points about divisive U.S. society.

Lisa Desjardins: This has been not just about shaming people, but about affecting their lives. And in some case, we know there’s been death threats as well. I wonder what you make of this tactic, of just something a few people are doing, but people are collecting databases to do this now.
