Chad Guy Daybell, a convicted murder on death row, should not have a website, Instagram, or X account to share letters with the public because doing so amplifies harmful narratives, retraumatizes victims’ families, and risks giving legitimacy to his extremist and criminal views. Allowing him a platform encourages the spread of misinformation, provides a stage for self-promotion despite his convictions, and undermines the justice system’s purpose of accountability rather than glorification.

Victims’ Families and Public Harm
Public posts from Daybell prolongs the suffering of victims’ families who are seeking closure. Seeing him publicize letters or commentary reopens trauma and creates a constant cycle of media attention.

His crimes involved extreme violence and manipulation; giving him visibility risks re-centering the narrative on him rather than on the innocent lives lost.

Platforming Criminals
The justice system removes freedoms as part of punishment. Giving a convicted murderer tools to broadcast his views undermines that sanction and shifts him into a quasi-celebrity role.

Many social platforms have guidelines against accounts that glorify or profit from violent crime. Allowing Daybell to post would contradict these standards.

Risk of Extremist Influence
Daybell was associated with apocalyptic and extremist religious ideologies. Public letters could spread those radical views, recruit vulnerable individuals, or inspire copycat behavior.

Platforms would essentially become distribution channels for propaganda that justifies or excuses violence.

Justice and Accountability
His punishment is not just imprisonment but also the loss of public influence. Maintaining a social media following or website gives him a power he should no longer hold.

Allowing communication in this way cheapens the seriousness of his crimes, turning his case into a spectacle instead of a warning.

Conclusion
Chad Daybell should not have a website, Instagram, or X account because the potential harm to victims’ families, the risk of spreading extremist ideologies, and the undermining of justice far outweigh any claimed benefit of “free expression.” Public platforms should prioritize community safety and respect for victims, not provide an outlet for a convicted murderer’s letters.
