What is Libs of TikTok? You probably know the page if you’re on social media a lot. They find radically progressive content and repost it.

The doxxing: According to veteran journalist Glenn Greenwald, journalists are supposed to challenge power and authority—not attack private citizens. In this case, NYT journalist Taylor Lorenz hunted down the owner of Libs of TikTok, visited her home, and published her address in the Washington Post.

Journalists from the Washington Post started contacting them and reporting on them. Journalists exposed those present and peaceful at the Jan 6 protest, costing them their jobs.
