Why Taylor Lorenz's Libs of TikTok Expose Has Outraged Conservatives
Newsweek ^ | April 19th, 2022 | Giulia Carbonaro

As Washington Post's columnist Taylor Lorenz is expected to publish a new piece today revealing the identity of the person behind the Twitter account Libs of Tik Tok, the social media platform has been stormed by outraged conservatives accusing the journalist of "doxxing" and harassing the anonymous account holder.

The conservative account Libs of Tik Tok, which mostly shares content attacking liberals and school teachers accused of the alleged "grooming" and "indoctrination" of children on LGBT rights, has become a social media sensation in the past two years, achieving a follower base of some 648,000 on Twitter, over 66,000 on Instagram and over 9,000 on YouTube.

The account was also once active on TikTok but was deactivated, the anonymous creator told the New York Post in an interview in February.

Lorenz's intention to reveal the identity of the anonymous creator of the account on the Washington Post became public knowledge when Florida's governor Ron DeSantis' press secretary Christina Pushaw shared a screenshot of an email allegedly sent by the Washington Post's journalist asking her for comment on the story.

I’m so glad I don’t get involved in social media other than this platform.

These WaPo reporters can only doxx someone because the big tech firms are infested with leftists who have no qualms about revealing the identity of posters using insider info.

Was this an innocent oversight by Christina Pushaw? Anyone know anything about her?

The Washington Post and DC commies can’t wait to attack even a young woman. Typical.

Doesn’t look like it would take much mockery to send this twit into a satisfying display self pitying hysteria.

Actually, LOTT is not “attacking” liberals, but exposing them using THEIR OWN VIDEOS.

If the Libs of Tik Tok account holder is doxxed, and female, and single, there will no doubt be a single conservative man almost immediately asking her to marry him. LOL

(Think Dawn on Rush's staff having men call in asking her to marry them just from one time Dawn spoke over the microphone.)

I wouldn’t recommend marrying anyone that asked immediately like that without even knowing the other person. I would think they were huge losers. A date maybe, but marriage? Too weird.

For a public personality to dox someone seems to be a very risky behavior.

It’s interesting that Jeff Bezos seems to feel completely invulnerable regarding conservative backlash? You would think given the huge success of Amazon he wouldn’t want to anger half his customers but he continues on with this ‘woke’ BS. He loudly supported the BLM riots, gave boat loads of money to communist Van Jones and has turned the WP into a contemptible left-wing rag (although it wasn’t far from that when he purchased it). He has no fear of backlash whatsoever...

Why Taylor Lorenz's Libs of TikTok Expose Has Outraged Conservatives

The headline is a variation on the "Conservatives Pounce" narrative.

A liberal does something questionable, in this case doxxing a private citizen, and the story isn't about whether the 'doxxing' is justifiable, but rather the story is about the Right's reaction to the Liberal's actions.

...content attacking liberals and school teachers ...

There's no 'attacking'. Just play the videos and let them speak for themselves.

As usual the left will set the precedent then be outraged when the same tactics are applied to them. The next 4-6 years are going to be fun.
