600 were punished due to what they said about Charlie Kirk after his murder:

Fired, suspended, punished, disciplined, and this is not at all a complete listâ€”Kirk fans identified thousands of people who expressed their views in an insufficiently respectful way and urged their employers to take action. We'll probably never know the true number. www.reuters.com/investigatio...
