Even Ilhan Omar blasted journalists for exploiting the doxxing of Freedom Convoy supporters after the CBC and other media outlets began to harass people on the hacked list.
On Sunday, crowdfunding platform GiveSendGo was hacked, revealing the names of 90,000 donors who had given funds to the Canadian truckers.
CBC immediately seized upon the hack, using the stolen data to contact people and ask them about why they donated to a cause which has been demonized as an extremist movement by the Canadian government.
The Washington Post is also contacting people who gave as little as $40 dollars to ask them why they donated.

Fox News also reported on the Post publishing a “lengthy thread singling out the biggest donor and a map showing where the donations came from in the U.S.”
The Ottawa Citizen subsequently published an article which showcased a cafe owner who faced violent intimidation and threats to smash up her business over a $250 donation to the Freedom Convoy.
The article made certain to imply that the cafe owner was at fault, asserting that she regretted her donation.
This prompted far-left Squad member Ilhan Omar to weigh in with a surprising condemnation of Ottawa Citizen editor Alison Mah.
“I fail to see why any journalist felt the need to report on a shop owner making such a[n] insignificant donation rather than to get them harassed,” Omar tweeted. “It’s unconscionable and journalists need to do better.”

Meanwhile, an individual calling himself Aubrey Cottle has taken credit for the GiveSendGo hack, calling himself a “famous fucking cyber-terrorist” during an unhinged rant.
Despite posting innumerable videos bragging of his criminal behavior, Tik Tok, notorious for its censorship of political speech, has failed to take any action against Cottle’s channel.
This is Aubrey Cottle. He hacked GiveSendGo and he doesn't care if anyone knows it. He's live on TikTok bragging about doxing and releasing the info that's currently getting thousands of people fired from their jobs for donating to the Freedom Convoy. pic.twitter.com/HJW7BBRc4z
