RE: 'Libs of TikTok' Account Responds Accordingly
Here is an in depth article on not only Taylor Lorenz but on those who enable her, as she is lazy and even though she is a "Tech reporter" she reportedly has few tech skills. Some of the connections revealed here are surprising at first but upon reflection, not really.
The Slime Machine Targeting Libs of Tik Tok
The tale of how Taylor Lorenz was used like a puppet by German intelligence
Quote:If you already know who Taylor Lorenz is: you spend too much time online. Touch grass.
If you don’t already know who Taylor Lorenz is, bless your soul, here is a quick primer.
She is a spoiled 51-year-old WASPy white chick from Connecticut who grew up attending Swiss boarding schools and then spent the next several decades malignantly grinding away at The Daily Beast, The Atlantic, Business Insider, The Hill, Daily Mail, and the New York Times. She is currently a gossip columnist at the Washington Post where she reports on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, etc. The way she rose to the top of her field was by being the best in the world at what she does: manufacturing gossip and drama — she gins up outrage mobs and doxxes her enemies better than anyone else. The media machine promoted the **** out of her all the way up to becoming Jeff Bezos’ personal attack dog knowing full well she's completely retarded. She's aspie as ****, highly neurotic, completely amoral and unscrupulous. She's a moron stooge doing gossipy political **** everyone else in the WaPo newsroom wants someone else to do but not themselves.
Taylor made her bones as Global Head of Social Media at the Daily Mail, the #1 gossip rag in the UK, where she was reportedly responsible for a “huge stream of anti-Muslim/anti refugees alarmism.”
Quote:But how did the doxxing happen, exactly? How did they find out the real name behind this anonymous account? Taylor Lorenz is a tech reporter with zero tech skills, obviously, so she wasn’t the one doing the leg work.
Buried in the article is a clue: software developer Travis Brown (who is working on a project with support from Prototype Fund, an organization that backs open-source projects) unearthed the account’s Twitter history and posted a thread detailing information about its profile changes. Oh, okay that makes sense. Travis Brown — a former software developer for Twitter — is the brains behind the operation, and he is simply using Taylor to take the heat. This explains a lot.
Who is Travis Brown?
When does a doxx become a doxx? What exactly constitutes a "doxx" other than sharing of personal information? When is information public, and when is it private? If you dig really, really, really hard to find any little crumb of information on a private citizen then eventually weaponize that crumb, at what point are stretching the definition of "publicly available?" At what point do you become a black-hat hacker?
These are evolving and murky legal questions and Travis Brown is an American Antifa operative, and former Twitter employee, who lives and thrives in this grey area. He doesn’t want to get in legal trouble, so he manipulates stooges like Taylor Lorenz to do his dirty work for him as a shield from scrutiny and liability. But make no mistake about it, Travis was the brains behind doing Libs of Tik Tok.
Quote:He hasn’t updated his LinkedIn in 2 years, and from as far as I can tell, this is because he is a full-time Antifa hacker dude now. He calls himself an “archivist” and in practice what this means is that he creates bots, scripts and automated code to compile databases and lists of anyone he deems an enemy of Antifa. That is his full-time focus. Creating lists, upon lists, upon lists. Brown then weaponizes these lists to attack anyone he possibly can. One of Brown’s many lists is the “Hate Speech Tracker,” a program whose explicit purpose is to aid Antifa extremists in tracking and archiving statements by its enemies and find “connections” between them to aid in doxxing.
This “hate speech” project violates Twitter’s Developer Policy, Developer Agreement, and Privacy Policy, but Twitter doesn’t care because Travis Brown *is* Twitter — or at least, he has connections there.
Quote:If you go up the chain, you will eventually find that the Prototype fund receives funding directly from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Meaning that Travis Brown is a man paid by the German government to target, dox, intimidate and harass the international left’s ideological enemies.
You have to wonder if the German government apparatus was prodded — or working in lock-step with? — US intelligence agencies. Was the US government shitting into the German government's mouth in this human centipede analogy? Probably. Maybe. Who knows.
There is a lot in there besides focusing on Taylor Lorenz. She's simply the moron being used to dox people, so that others can keep their hands clean and stay out of trouble.
I have to wonder what life is like for these people who seem to spend all their energy and waking hours on making life miserable for others. Seems like a waste but I think deep down there is a sad, angry person.
