People who have never mentioned Charlie Kirk are being wrongfully targeted online and doxxed. @npub1d6tt...9r7s reports on two such cases. Ali Nasrati discovered, after receiving a barrage of abuse and death threats and being suspended from work, that an X account started in May was using his name and a photo stolen from his social media. Cynthia Rehberg, a school principal in Wisconsin, was misidentified by a conservative influencer from a Facebook post, after which her district received 800 voicemails calling for her firing. "Over 200,000 people think that I'm somebody that I'm not," Nastrati told Lorenz, referring to the amount of views one of the X posts attacking him received. "I don't know if anybody's following me. I don't feel safe going into public areas. I don't know who's there. I don't know who is going to be able to recognize me or not, or who might do something. I'm constantly looking behind my back." #News #Journalism #Media #CharlieKirk #OnlineBehavior #Doxxing
