Lawyer Flavia Ferronato published the screen shots of her conversation with a journalist, Andressa Vieira, including the journalist’s name and phone number. The journalist had contacted Ferronato to ask questions about COVID-19 vaccine production. The Brazilian association of investigative journalists, Abraji, condemned the doxing as a “clear form of intimidation” and said such actions put journalists’ safety at risk.
