Some posts directly called for people to go to the home addresses and protest, an act that is illegal according to federal law.

Popular social media sites Instagram and Reddit both had such posts.

There have already been several protests outside of the justices' homes.

On multiple occasions, groups of around 15 to 20 individuals have made their way to a conservative justice's home to loudly protest, blast music, and swear at the justices'.

On Instagram, a sponsored post by user @bendy.maui listed the street intersections and cities (blacked out in the photo below to maintain the justices' privacy) where the justices live, along with a message encouraging activists to protest daily at the homes at 7 p.m. The post reads "No Privacy?
