Monday night, Ron DeSantis spokesperson Christina Pushaw shared an email she received from Taylor Lorenz saying she planned to release a story about the anonymous person who runs the Libs of TikTok account, and was seeking comment. Multiple prominent accounts expressed their outrage, especially considering the fact that Lorenz had just done an interview with MSNBC in which she denounced online harassment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>However, Lorenz\u2019s sympathy doesn\u2019t extend to people who have opposing political views, apparently. Libs of TikTok posted photos of the journalist \u201charassing\u201d her family by visiting their homes. The Post article details exactly how the journalist hunted down the social media user\u2019s identity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Lorenz traced Libs of TikTok back through all her old Twitter handles, including ones that featured her real name. She also checked to see who registered the Libs of TikTok domain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The WaPo journalist noted how software developer Travis Brown posted a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/travisbrown\/status\/1515329630756122626\"><span>thread<\/span><\/a><span> of the account\u2019s Twitter history and profile changes. The Daily Dot also did an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/debug\/libs-of-tiktok-attended-capitol-riot\/\"><span>expose<\/span><\/a><span> on the formerly anonymous account.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The news article accuses the account of having \u201cdeep and far-reaching\u201d impact plus \u201cshaping right-wing media, impacting anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and influencing millions by posting viral videos aimed at inciting outrage among the right.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The journalist also went so far as to accuse Libs of TikTok of \u201cdirectly impacting legislation\u201d due to interactions with Pushaw. The press secretary responded to these assertions with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChristinaPushaw\/status\/1516389653217263619\"><span>tweet<\/span><\/a><span> that said, \u201cTaylor Lorenz, Bezos Post reporter, thinks that press secretaries write legislation,\u201d along with a cry-laughing and clown face emoji.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Taylor Lorenz, Bezos Post reporter, thinks that press secretaries write legislation \ud83d\ude02\ud83e\udd21 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6MHms7Ldnx\">pic.twitter.com\/6MHms7Ldnx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Christina Pushaw \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@ChristinaPushaw) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChristinaPushaw\/status\/1516389653217263619?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 19, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>Multiple people pointed out that Lorenz could have written a similar article identifying the Libs of TikTok creator simply as a New York-based woman without revealing her identity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Followers also point out that the radical Left has no justification for opposing an account that simply re-posts videos that already exist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis is the truth. All this account does is amplify left wing voices. That\u2019s it. And the regime media wants to shut it down,\u201d Cernovich shared.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cSo, why is WaPo doxxing @LibsofTikTok? Why isn\u2019t the left proud of what they\u2019ve done to the people she\u2019s exposed? Are they homophobic? Transphobic? Ashamed of kiddie groomers they\u2019ve created?
