After Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA co-founder and conservative youth leader, was fatally shot at Utah Valley University in Orem while debating a student, Vice President JD Vance hosted Kirk's podcast that Monday and encouraged listeners to act against anyone who appeared to welcome the killing, including by involving that person's workplace. He described the message as rejecting violence and favoring civil conduct. His remarks came as websites such as "Expose Charlie's Murderers" solicited tips and published names, photos, employers, and online handles of people whose posts were deemed unsympathetic, according to the article. Doxing-prevention specialists said Kirk's death accelerated such exposure, leading to job loss, threats, and other lasting harm. Princeton's Shannon Hiller said Vance appeared to endorse the tactic, while specialist Shauna Dillavou described doxing as stochastic terrorism.
