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.

Yes, I don’t usually have reading comprehension issues, but this one hit me the wrong way. I think I get the issue now!

Thank you-

All she did was repost videos that liberals posted on tock tock

Which is necessary to supress before the elections so certain parties don't have to take responsibility for their statements. For instance, the twisted admission about "fortifying" the 2020 elections really should be put into the memory hole./s

This is the woman who cried on TV because of “PTSD” from mean tweets. She’s inflicting the terror onto an Orthodox Jew.

Giulia Carbonaro, one of Newsweek's Partisan Media Shills and Stooges, tries to spin an antisemitic rant into some kind of conservative misdeed.
Lorenz is not a journalist, or an activist, she's just an ****ole.

One of the reasons why Conservatives keep getting beat like red headed step children in the culture war is precisely because very few want to be involved in fighting it.

"getting beat?" Does that include getting banned for wrongthink? Even if they "want to be involved" the commies control the platforms.
