Conservative media group behind ‘doxxing truck’ returns to Columbia, launches new website
A “doxxing truck” circled the Morningside campus on Wednesday as part of “national days of activism on college campuses across the country to stand up against antisemitism,” according to a Tuesday news release from conservative media group Accuracy in Media.
Driving down Broadway, the truck displayed names and photos of Columbia affiliates under the words “Columbia’s Leading Antisemites.” The truck also promoted a new website that “features a petition that urges employers to blacklist applicants,” alongside the words “Boycott, Divest, & Sanction These Antisemites.”
Accuracy in Media first deployed the “doxxing truck” to Columbia’s Morningside campus on Oct. 25, 2023, showing the names and faces of Columbia affiliates who were allegedly members of organizations that signed a joint statement in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack.
Students protested against the “doxxing truck” in October, using balloons, umbrellas, and cardboard to cover the names and photos shown on the truck, as well as holding up signs reading “Stop Doxxing Our Students.”
