Fact check: What is the name of the website doxxing people for reacting to Charlie Kirk's death?
1. Summary of the results
The original statement inquires about the name of the website doxxing people for reacting to Charlie Kirk's death. According to analyses from [1], [2], and [3], the website in question is called "Expose Charlie's Murderers" [1] [2] [3]. This website is allegedly targeting individuals who have posted critical remarks about Charlie Kirk, with [2] stating it has 41 names of people it alleges were 'supporting political violence online' and claims to be working on a backlog of more than 20,000 submissions [2]. [3] mentions that the site requested the names, profiles, and identifying information of students or employees 'supporting political violence online' and pledged to create a searchable database [3]. However, analyses from [4], [5], and [6] do not mention a specific website doxxing people for reacting to Charlie Kirk's death, instead discussing the broader issue of doxxing and its effects [4] [5] [6].
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
A key piece of missing context is the lack of information on the website's legitimacy and the accuracy of its claims [1] [2] [3]. The analyses from [1], [2], and [3] focus on the existence and actions of the "Expose Charlie's Murderers" website, while [4], [5], and [6] provide a broader perspective on doxxing without mentioning the specific website [4] [5] [6]. Additionally, [2] and [1] mention that the website has been registered anonymously, which could be an important factor in understanding its intentions and operations [2] [1]. Alternative viewpoints come from [4], [5], and [6], which highlight the growing threat of doxxing and its implications for free speech culture, without specifically addressing the "Expose Charlie's Murderers" website [4] [5] [6].
3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The original statement may contain potential misinformation by assuming that a specific website is doxxing people solely for reacting to Charlie Kirk's death, when in fact, the website's purpose and scope may be broader [1] [2] [3]. The bias in the original statement could be towards sensationalizing the issue of doxxing in relation to Charlie Kirk's death, without providing a balanced view of the complexities surrounding doxxing and online harassment [4] [5] [6]. The "Expose Charlie's Murderers" website and its supporters may benefit from the attention and the narrative that they are fighting against those who celebrate violence, while individuals being doxxed and advocates for free speech may be negatively impacted by the lack of nuance in the discussion around doxxing and online harassment [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6].
