New lawsuit takes Canary Mission to court under anti-doxxing law
CAIR Chicago has filed a landmark federal lawsuit against Canary Mission, the shadowy pro-Israel website that has targeted pro-Palestinian individuals with doxxing attacks for nearly a decade.
Since it started posting profiles of students, professors, professionals, and organizations in 2015, Canary Mission has sought to “ensure that today’s radicals are not tomorrow’s employees.” The blacklist relies on compiling all the publicly available information of an individual: every LinkedIn update, X (formerly Twitter) retweet, childhood photo on Facebook. While students protesting the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza have faced unprecedented crackdowns this year, from academic suspensions to to brutal arrests on felony charges, doxxing has risen with the rising of violent repression. “Canary Mission and other similar outfits have long operated to harass, bully and intimidate students and young people who hold different opinions than their own with the goal of chilling their free speech and smearing their reputation for the benefit of a foreign government and its occupational interests,” Joseph Milburn, the CAIR Chicago attorney for Khan’s case, said.
