Pro-Trump app built to expose Charlie Kirk’s critics ends up exposing its own users in massive data leak
September 24, 2025An app created for anonymously reporting people accused of criticizing conservative activist Charlie Kirk has leaked personal information about its users. The platform, called “Cancel the Hate,” was taken down on Thursday after Straight Arrow Network began investigating the data breach.
Developed shortly after Kirk’s assassination on Sept. 10, Cancel the Hate promoted itself as a tool to “hold individuals accountable for their public words.” Its site encouraged users to “express concern” by submitting “intel” on those accused, including their names, employers, and locations.
Cancel the Hate specifically highlighted medical professionals “whose conduct could endanger patients,” along with public officials, teachers, business owners, influencers, and entertainers. The website stated: “We do not seek revenge or mob justice. Our goal is transparency — to ensure that individuals in positions of power cannot hide hateful words or actions from public scrutiny. They should NOT be harassed, threatened, or harmed in any way.”
The app formed part of a larger push among conservatives to target those who criticized Kirk or who appeared to celebrate his shooting during a Utah college speaking event. It was founded by activist Jason Sheppard, known for marketing fentanyl testing kits alongside comedian Roseanne Barr, vaccine skeptic Dr. Robert Malone, and right-wing journalist Lara Logan. The website also said all submissions required “verifiable information about the submitter.”
While Cancel the Hate promised that those providing information would remain private, a companion social platform exposed just the opposite. According to security researcher “BobDaHacker,” flaws in the system revealed users’ email addresses and phone numbers. Even though emails were automatically placed into user bios — something many participants likely didn’t realize — the data remained visible even when privacy settings were enabled.
Straight Arrow News attempted to contact Cancel the Hate through its online form but received no reply. The app’s webpage was removed hours later, though not before SAN created a test account and copied the software. BobDaHacker then provided a sample of 142 users’ data, including details tied to SAN’s account, and showed how the flaw even allowed them to delete accounts altogether. Messages sent to the developer, DreamTeam Development, LLC, also went unanswered.
SAN later confirmed the breach with one user whose details appeared in the leak. The individual, who asked not to be identified for safety reasons, admitted they downloaded the app but soon suspected Cancel the Hate might be a “scam” after being hit with multiple donation requests in their inbox.
Last week, Sheppard posted on Facebook that the app had logged over 38,000 reports within its first 30 hours. He also suggested the platform would be used to “better organize and focus on outing the folks that need to be outed.”
Not long after, Sheppard’s accounts on Facebook and X, along with Cancel the Hate’s pages, disappeared without explanation. Their removal followed heavy criticism of the site. Sheppard has not responded to repeated emails and calls from SAN, and because the vulnerabilities remain, SAN has chosen not to release additional technical details.
