WaPo’s Megan McArdle says woman behind Libs of Tik Tok getting doxxed isn’t really a big deal because she’s just an Orthodox Jew Posted at 11:18 am on April 19, 2022 by Sarah D

Some of you weirdos out there seem pretty concerned for the welfare of the woman behind the popular Libs of Tik Tok Twitter account. But there’s really no need to be worried about her! Because, as Taylor Lorenz’s Washington Post colleague Megan McArdle points out, the woman is an Orthodox Jew:

Interestingly, LibsofTikTok appears to be Orthodox, and to work at a realty that caters to the Orthodox, so I'm guessing the fallout of having her name revealed is going to be pretty minimal.

— Megan McArdle (@asymmetricinfo) April 19, 2022

She’s just an Orthodox Jew. And you know how those Orthodox Jews are.

We went ahead and grabbed that screenshot, just in case Megan comes to her senses and deletes the tweet. But it’s important to note that at this point, it’s too late for Megan to walk this back. It’s out there, for all the world to see. And we’re going to do what we can to make sure all the world sees it. People need to know what casual antisemitism looks like.

Because that’s exactly what Megan’s tweet is.

“we figured out who keeps embarassing us. she’s a jew who lives in brooklyn. here’s her business address.”

public interest served!

Babylon Bee CEO announces that he's worked out a deal to make Libs of Tik Tok's gig a full-time career WaPo's senior managing editor says the paper did not link to any details about Libs of Tik Tok's personal life What was the purpose of Taylor Lorenz highlighting Libs of Tik Tok’s Orthodox Judaism if not to add fuel to antisemitic flames? And what is the purpose of Megan McArdle’s tweet if not to downplay the effort?

I’m sorry, what? https://t.co/3Vl5oFhham

Remember when Megan McArdle wasn’t a kneejerk defender of journalistic malpractice and garbage people? We do. But with each passing day, it gets more and more difficult.

This shouldn't ever be a standard. The person who threatened to dox me in 2019 said that by his estimation, it wouldn't hurt my professional life and so he felt comfortable doing it.

— Noam Blum (@neontaster) April 19, 2022

Megan would probably have said that Blum was asking for it anyway.

Except the death threats, sure.

"She's an Orthodox Jew, therefore it's ok to publish information that endangers her & her family" – Washington Post reporter.

The same Washington Post that ignores the fact that Jews are victims of 50%+ of all hate crimes in New York City, the overwhelming majority against us. https://t.co/ciwNOzs9Fe

— shevereshtus (@shevereshtus) April 19, 2022

have you not seen the MASSIVE spike in crimes against Jewish people? are you that out of touch with reality Megan? https://t.co/15hob3rAuf

— Fifty Shades of Sarcasm (@Fifty_ShadesOfD) April 19, 2022

Give Megan some credit: we believe that she’s well aware of the increase in antisemitic crimes over the past several years. We just also believe that she doesn’t care.

The woman behind Libs of Tik Tok is an Orthodox Jew, a member of Chabad?! My goodness! Besides cheeseburgers, the main reason I've put off conversion is I have figured online would be off limits. My goodness. Read linked article to see all tweets properly formatted. Sometimes they don't copy.

Frum from birth are expected to be stricter than a baal tshuvah, especially among Chabad. I’ll wager the woman is a baal tshuvah or convert.

If Congress issues press passes for journalists. The Washington Post should be denied a pass for anti-Semitism when we control Congress.. When we take the White House, same goes for that location also. Throw in the New York Times too.

Thank you. I just read a Newsweek article post that said the LoTT creator had moved from New York to California. I am totally surprised. Our Chabad rabbi is from New York, continually visits, and some of his sons-in-law are from NYC.

Tucker Carlson talked to her on tonight’s show, and neither she nor he mentioned she was an Orthodox Jew.

Her last name is a well known one in Chabad circles. It is unusual enough to unlikely be a coincidence.

It’s very likely she is related to the prominent Chabad family, but her first name is the same as several other members of the extended family. They tend to have very big families.

It figures that the Washington ComPost and Jeff Bezos would have her on the payroll.
