Under normal circumstances, identifying the brains behind an anonymous viral social media account would be of minor importance — but there’s a particular urgency and public interest to unmasking Libs of TikTok. In addition to a recent interview on Tucker Carlson Tonight, the account’s creator has appeared multiple times on Fox News, which routinely sources stories from videos and photos shared to Libs of TikTok accounts. The username discovery allowed Daily Dot reporter Claire Goforth to find a link between Libs of TikTok and a Brooklyn-based realtor, dropping information that any savvy internet user could piece together to construct a probable doxxing — but now that Lorenz is on the beat? Lorenz is disliked so much by right-wingers that they seemingly ignored the Daily Dot’s relatively thorough investigation into the identity of Libs of TikTok’s creator on April 18 — or that a software developer was able to track all usernames previously associated with the Libs of TikTok Twitter account earlier this month.

Washington Post “journalist” Taylor Lorenz doxxed the creator of the popular “Libs of Tik Tok” Twitter account in a hit piece on Tuesday. Lorenz says the.

Libs of Tik Tok had the nerve to share angry liberals owning themselves. In addition to her creepy “reporting” tactics, Taylor Lorenz is one of the biggest hypocrites on the Twitter app. Taking down Libs of Tik Tok and anyone else who pokes fun at the woke is Lorenz’s mission. So she reported for duty and began trying to intimidate, or in her words “expose,” the woman behind the Libs of Tik Tok mask. To write the hit piece, Lorenz practiced harassment, not journalism. Lorenz doxxed the creator for just one reason: she wants to destroy her.

Lorenz, who formerly worked at The Hill, among multiple other outlets, has been outspoken in the past about the online harassment she has faced while reporting on internet culture and the creator economy.

"Raichik isn't just some average woman w/ a social media account," Lorenz said about the woman behind the influential right-wing Libs of TikTok account.

"[A]ll the info in the Libs of TikTok piece was already publicly available online. "Taylor Lorenz is an accomplished and diligent journalist whose reporting methods comport entirely with The Washington Post's professional standards," Barr said.

Earlier this month, Lorenz said on MSNBC's Meet the Press Daily that she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder due to online harassment.

Greenwald also lashed out at Lorenz on Twitter after her story was published Tuesday, claiming she “badgered” Raichik’s relatives by coming to their home to confirm Raichik’s identity. Lorenz wrote in her story that a woman at an address linked to Raichik’s name in Los Angeles did not identify herself, and said a tweet from Greenwald claiming she visited Raichik’s family’s home allowed her to confirm she had the correct house. The account’s popularity comes as GOP-led state legislatures across the country have sought to pass bills curtailing discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools, and as conservative pundits like Ingraham claim public schools are serving as “ grooming centers.”

The Fox News host wondered why Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz isn't registered as a foreign agent.

Among other things, Carlson called her “merely a receptacle for information other people gather for their own ends.” Brown, Lorenz notes, receives support from the German-based Prototype Fund. The fund, according to its website, “supports ideas in civic tech, data literacy, data security and software infrastructure” with money from Germany’s Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night wondered aloud why Taylor Lorenz, the author of a Washington Post story earlier in the day on the popular Twitter account Libs of Tik Tok, isn’t registered as a foreign agent.
