Overview

• Utah County prosecutors charged Tyler Robinson, 22, with seven counts including aggravated murder and said they will seek the death penalty.
• Charging materials and reported texts describe a paper note and a texted confession in which Robinson allegedly wrote, “I had enough of his hatred.”
• Major platforms labeled, removed, blurred, or age‑restricted the killing video within hours, yet it still circulated widely and spurred disputes over whether it should remain viewable.
• FCC Chair Brendan Carr signaled possible action over Jimmy Kimmel’s on‑air remarks, and ABC pulled the show hours later as free‑speech advocates criticized what they called government jawboning.
• The fallout widened as Attorney General Pam Bondi walked back a vow to target “hate speech,” Utah Gov. Spencer Cox blamed social media for recent political violence, and online reactions led to suspensions and a viral list of alleged critics that was later taken down.
