Antifa student group threatens to dox any students at UT Austin who join conservative clubs

The Autonomous Student Network, an antifa student group, has threatened to release 

the personal information of any students who join conservative-leaning clubs.

Here's what we know


On June 6, an account affiliated with the Autonomous Student Network tweeted 

"Hey #UT23! Do you wanna be famous? If you join YCT [the Young Conservatives 

of Texas] or Turning Point USA, you just might be. Your name and more could end 

up on an article...So be sure to make smart choices at #UTOreientation."

Another tweet reported asked students to report on their fellow students who try to 

join conservative clubs, saying that "the best #LonghornStateOfMind is an 

antifascist one."


Links in the tweets lead to a page which lists photos, personal emails, phone 

numbers, and employers of several students at the University of Texas at Austin who 

were involved in either the YCT or TPUSA. In one example, the group listed the 

Chick-fil-A location that employed one young woman (whose name we will not 

include in this article for her privacy's sake) as well as a number so supporters could "

[c]all Chick-Fil-A[SIC] to get her fired." Her crime? She was a "[m]ember of the 

YCT who was present at a pro-Kavanaugh demonstration."

A main account for the Autonomous Student Network appears to currently be 

suspended from Twitter. According to Fox News, this same account also lost its 

tweeting privileges after it tried to doxx supporters of then-Supreme Court nominee 

Brett Kavanaugh.

A spokesperson for the university told Campus Reform that the school did not 

believe "students should never be targeted or face harassment for their affiliations, 

political beliefs or any other reason" and that the Autonomous Student Network was 

"not affiliated with the university" and "not a registered student group."
