"Good riddance."

Hours after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated, Emory University cancer researcher Anna Kenney posted a remark on a friend’s Facebook page. She thought little of it — until the next morning, when her words were splashed across the social media platform "X" alongside her photo and employer details.

Within days, the post had gone viral, a Republican politician called for her firing and Emory University cut ties with her. AJC reporter Thomas Lake sits down with Kenney to examine how a single comment ignited a firestorm and what her story reveals about the boundaries of free speech in the digital age.
