The white supremacist group Patriot Front is suing a left-wing activist for allegedly infiltrating the group and revealing the identities of members, USA Today reported. The lawsuit says the alleged “doxxings” cost the members their jobs and personal relationships. As USA Today points out, Patriot F…
The lawsuit says the alleged “doxxings” cost the members their jobs and personal relationships.
Uhhh … if the revealing of members caused those members to lose their jobs, it’s because their employers determined that they don’t want to employ Patriot Front members. Last I checked, without a specific contract, employment is at will.
Being a shithead is not a protected class.
Tell that to the police.
As in they’re shitheads protected by the law.
ASAB. All shitheads are bastards.
Assigned Shithead At Birth
Ass Shit Ass Bitch
True employers have the right to fire people.
Fuck these fascists.
The funny thing about free speech is that naming who is part of a hate group can likely be argued as free speech moreso than “whaaah, we got fired for the awful shit we said”, given that it’s called freedom of speech and not freedom from the consequences of my speech. Doubly so when you’re talking about consequences brought about by a private organization/not the government. After all, their place of employment has freedom of speech rights too, as well as the ability to choose who they associate with.
It’s always projection.
The hypocrisy of these groups is showing:
The suit claims Capito joined Patriot Front using a false identity and accessed the group’s computer databases to access private information, which he then shared with friendly activists and hackers.
“This confidential information was then widely published and used to harass and threaten the Plaintiffs, with the aim, and result, of doxxing them and other Patriot Front members and causing them serious harm,” the lawsuit says.
They do this sort of thing all the time to the trans community.
Right-wing mentality says that it’s alright when they do something, but if you do it back to them, that’s cheating and shouldn’t be allowed. You know, spoiled 5-year-old shit.
Which is why this makes me a bit uneasy
Sure, when it happens to Nazis, fuck em, they’re scum
But like…I’ll bet some of you reading are Communists. There’s a lot of employers who would fire you for affiliating with communist groups. Or pro-union groups.
I don’t like the precedent of ruining someone’s life because it can easily be turned around on you.
Not surprised relationships are ending.
Lol they lost their jobs because they’re racist scumbags, not because of the doxxing
Fuckin’ Old Navy Nazis
Their jobs? You mean their government jobs? Patriot Front are feds yeah?
You forgot this “/s”.
They were likely not sarcastic, that user is at best severely mentally ill, but probably some kind of troll or disinformation worker.
where legal defense fund??? 😎👍
