A New York cybersecurity worker was fired after mocking a conservative figure’s remarks on social media, sparking a viral backlash and threats.
Alexandra, a cybersecurity worker in New York, was fired within hours of posting a Facebook comment mimicking conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s controversial remarks about bailing the suspect in the 2022 Paul Pelosi attack.
The post, made two days after Kirk’s assassination, was shared by a high-profile X account that named her and her employer, sparking a viral backlash.
Within hours, she received a termination email with no warning.
Threats followed, including one referencing a local restaurant, prompting her to flee her apartment and stay with friends for safety.
She is one of several people who lost jobs due to online campaigns targeting social media posts about Kirk’s death, fueled by political figures like Vice President Vance urging public shaming and employer pressure.
Researchers warn of a growing trend where digital mob campaigns, amplified by political influence, are being used to enforce conformity, raising concerns about censorship and personal safety.
