@libsoftiktok, also known as Libs of TikTok, is a conservative Twitter user known for reposting content created by left-wing, liberal, and LGBT TikTok accounts, often in a derogatory manner.[1][2] The account has over 900,000 followers as of April 2022[3] and has become influential among American conservatives.[4]

The person behind Libs of TikTok remained anonymous until being publicly exposed as Chaya Raichik in April 2022.[2][5]

Biography

Prior to rebranding, Libs of TikTok was originally Raichik's personal account, created in November 2020. The account downplayed the severity of COVID-19, promoted the conspiracy theory that the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump through election fraud and made posts showing that Raichik was present at the 2021 United States Capitol attack. The handle was later changed to @cuomomustgo, focusing on demanding the resignation of the then-Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo. The account also promoted efforts to recall the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom. By March 2021, the handle had changed to @houseplantpotus, a parody account tweeting as a houseplant in the White House of U.S. President Joe Biden. Failing to gain traction as @houseplantpotus, the account then became Libs of TikTok in April 2021.[5]

Libs of TikTok has since expanded to additional social media platforms, including Instagram, YouTube, Rumble, Gab, and Gettr. Libs of TikTok's TikTok account was banned for violating TikTok's community guidelines.[5]

Identity

The account's creator has endeavored to stay anonymous, appearing in newspaper and television interviews under the condition of anonymity.[5]

In April 2022, details began to surface about Libs of TikTok's identity. Software developer Travis Brown, who receives support from the German-based Prototype Fund [de], researched the history and named Chaya Raichik as the account's creator.[5][6] Raichik claims to run the account alone and said she moved from New York to California to work on the account full-time.[2]

On April 19, 2022, The Washington Post published an article by journalist Taylor Lorenz on Libs of TikTok which further publicized the identity of the account owner as Raichik, and provided personal details, including that Raichik claimed to work in real estate and was "proudly" Orthodox Jewish, details which were scraped from Raichik's older public Twitter account biography.[5] According to The Daily Dot, the reveal of the account's identity "ignited a media firestorm."[7] The article drew criticism from American conservatives who accused Lorenz of doxxing, of antisemitism for mentioning Raichik's religion, and of hypocrisy for having previously spoken out against online harassment.[8][9][10][11][12] In response to the article, Raichik tweeted that she was "holed up in a safe location" and later told the New York Post that she "will never be silenced."[13][14] Raichik also accused Lorenz of harassment for visiting the home of Raichik's relatives as part of her reporting.[15][8][13]

Cameron Barr, a senior managing editor at the Post, defended the article, stating that "Lorenz is a diligent and accomplished journalist whose reporting methods comport entirely with the Washington Post's professional standards" and claimed that the Post "did not publish or link to any details about [Raichik's] personal life."[10] In response, Libs of TikTok called Barr's statement "lies" (in all-caps), saying that the article did include a "link with personal information" that was removed "because they knew what they were doing was abhorrent."[15] The Spectator also accused the Post of lying.[16] A spokesperson for the Post told Fox News that its report "linked to publicly available professional information" and that the Post removed a link in the article to personal information about Raichik because "ultimately, we deemed it unnecessary."[8] Lorenz defended her reporting, stating that "Raichik isn't just some average woman w/ a social media account, she's a powerful influencer operating a massively impactful right-wing media shaping the discourse around LGBTQ+ rights."[13] According to The Times, "Supporters of Lorenz meanwhile pointed out that Raichik's followers were only too enthusiastic about doxxing when it came to teachers being smeared as paedophiles."[4]

Rabbi Yaakov Menken, managing director for the Coalition for Jewish Values, called the reference to Raichik's religion in the Post article "simply unacceptable" and demanded an apology.[17] Kara Alaimo, writing for NBC News, dismissed criticism regarding identifying the individual running the account, arguing that "the people in need of protection here are those who are being targeted with hate simply because of their identities — not the people who are hur[t]ling the abuse, like Raichik."[18] Kat Bouza, senior news editor for Rolling Stone, agreed with Alaimo. Bouza noted that, prior to Lorenz's coverage, Daily Dot reporter Claire Goforth wrote a "relatively thorough" investigation into the Libs of TikTok account, which included "information that any savvy internet user could piece together to construct a probable doxxing." Bouza also noted that only after Lorenz reported on it was conservative media "outraged."[19]

Following the publication of the article from the Post, a separate twitter user, @deletedtweet161, who tracks deleted posts, said that Libs of TikTok deleted "at least 20 tweets" over several days. 2,795 tweets had been deleted since the creation of the account, with many tweets being deleted to get access to the account restored following Twitter's suspension.[7][14] Lorenz gained more than 200,000 new Twitter followers in the three days after the article was published. Lorenz also launched a Substack account, offering exclusive content for paid subscribers.[4]

Suspensions

Libs of TikTok was temporarily suspended twice for targeted harassment.[18] On April 13, 2022, Libs of TikTok was suspended (for 12 hours) from Twitter for "hateful conduct."[20] Hours after being reinstated, the account was suspended a second time for another 12 hours. In response to the suspensions, Raichik said that "The good news is that I'm doing something right and making a difference."[21]

Content

Libs of TikTok is focused primarily on conservative ideas and anti-LGBT rhetoric. The account has targeted schools and teachers, referring to schools as "government run indoctrination camps" for the LGBT community and encouraged followers to contact schools that allowed transgender students to use the bathroom of their identified gender.[2][5]

Libs of TikTok has also claimed that adults teaching children about LGBT identities is "abusive", argued that any teacher who comes out as gay to their students should be "fired on the spot", and falsely claimed that schools were putting litter boxes in bathrooms for students that identified as cats. The account has called members of the LGBT community "literally evil", claimed that being gender non-conforming or being an ally of the LGBT community is a "mental illness", and deliberately misgendered transgender people. It has accused the LGBT community of "grooming kids",[2][5] including Chasten Buttigieg and The Trevor Project organization in since-deleted tweets.[7][14]

Media attention

In August 2021, podcastor Joe Rogan began promoting the account on The Joe Rogan Experience, calling it "one of the greatest fucking accounts of all time", leading to a large increase in followers. That same month, lawyer and Republican Party operative Grant Lally filed a trademark for Libs of TikTok as a "news reporter service."[5] The account has also been promoted by journalist Glenn Greenwald and by political commentators Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham; has been featured in the New York Post, The Federalist, The Post Millennial, Fox News and in other right-wing news outlets; and its posts have been retweeted by Meghan McCain.[5][15] In speaking on the Parental Rights in Education bill, often referred to by critics as the "Don't Say Gay bill", Ron DeSantis's press secretary Christina Pushaw credited the account for "opening her eyes" on LGBT education.[5]

Prior to being revealed as the account creator, Raichik was interviewed anonymously on several occasions, during which she boasted that posts from the account led to the firings of several teachers. Raichik encouraged followers to join local school boards in order to remove teachers who teach about gender and sexuality.[5]

On April 19, 2022, Seth Dillon, the CEO of Christian conservative satire site The Babylon Bee, announced a partnership with Libs of TikTok.[8]

Several teachers have been fired or removed as a result of posts from Libs of TikTok.[1][22] One former English teacher said that they had been harassed and sent death threats before eventually being fired after a video they posted about supporting LGBT youth was reposted by Libs of TikTok.[1][23] Republican politicians have accused the teacher of being a "predator".[4] On a conservative podcast, Raichik said that "It's not easy to be the one responsible for that, for someone losing their job. On the other hand, I mean these people, some of them are literally evil, and they are grooming kids."[11]

Another Orthodox Jew named Chaya Raichik, a stay-at-home mom who grew up in Los Angeles, was cyberbullied by hundreds of people online who mistook her for the person behind Libs of TikTok. She also had her address posted online.[24]

Tucker Carlson argued that "No news organisation in America has done more to reveal the reality in American schools than Libs of TikTok", called the videos unearthed by Raichik "idiotic and disgusting", and accused Lorenz of "acting as the Stasi for the deep state". Donald Trump Jr. tweeted that "The question Libs of TikTok often raises — & the Left wants to ignore — is do parents have a right to know what their children are being taught in their public school, or not? No Taylor Lorenz hit piece can change the fact that America's parents are with us, not the groomers".[4]

Gillian Branstetter, a media strategist for the American Civil Liberties Union, said that "The role I've seen this account playing is finding new characters for right-wing propaganda" and that "It's relying on the endless stream of content from TikTok and the Internet to cast any individual trans person as a new villain in their story." Ari Drennen, the LGBTQ program director for left-leaning media watchdog group Media Matters for America, said that "Libs of TikTok is basically acting as a wire service for the broader right-wing media ecosystem" and that "It's been shaping public policy in a real way, and affecting teachers' ability to feel safe in their classrooms."[5] Journalist Alex Pareene argued that members of the "new right" "want a chaotic information stream of unverifiable bullshit and context collapse and propaganda." and that Libs of TikTok "is the model for what [the press] will be replaced with."[25]

Bonnie Kristian of The Week argued that "The person behind Libs of TikTok doesn't matter much, not because the account isn't influential (it is, including with lawmakers), but because conspiracism is communal now." and that "the success of Libs of TikTok reflects that shift. The account doesn't claim there's a coordinated conspiracy by progressive teachers and officials; it simply presents the videos (some of which are legitimately appalling, some of which may be fake, overblown, or taken out of context) and retweets vague charges that 'they' are 'after your kids.'", concluding that "Lorenz's exposé largely missed the point."[26] Kat Rosenfield of UnHerd called the Post article "an unmasking worthy of a demented superhero story: the exposure, after months of intrigue, of the elusive political operative known as Libs of TikTok.", called the article "part secret identity drama, part media gatekeeping controversy, part ordinary political outrage at a moment of national mania" and concluded that "Ultimately, it's hard to know what Libs of TikTok's greater sin is: being wrong, or being popular."[27]

Bill Zeiser of The Spectator defended Libs of TikTok from criticism, saying that they "didn't cause the preschool teacher to brag about telling her charges that she is 'poly' or 'gender-fluid.' She didn't force the medical student to talk about deliberately jabbing a patient multiple times with a needle because the patient had mocked a gender pronouns pin. She didn't make the theater advertise a 'family sex show' for children replete with full nudity. She just amplifies the videos that these people have publicly offered, and adds her opinion that these things are disgusting.", adding that "What the Lorenzes of the world fear the most is that social media users who don't share their agenda will keep highlighting the left's radicalism."[28] Bethany Mandel of Deseret News argued that Libs of TikTok "posts go viral, not because of anything she says, but because the videos showcase the ideology and agenda of the far left in their own words. One video, for example, explains why gender is a 'system of oppression' and another shows a teacher explaining the 'gender unicorn' she teaches fifth graders."[29] Chad Felix Greene of The Federalist argued that "Yet among the many accusing Libs of TikTok of being 'anti-LGBT,' none of them seem to recognize that the account quite literally reposts TikTok videos by LGBT activists themselves. The entire purpose of the Twitter account is ... to demonstrate to its audience what LGBT activists are saying out loud."[30] Angie Speaks of Newsweek argued that the reveal of the person behind Libs of TikTok "is part of a larger trend in which liberals use legacy and social media to silence dissent." and that "these kinds of attacks on the privacy and anonymity of private citizens who dissent from the liberal hegemony in ways found to be 'problematic' have unfortunately become more commonplace in recent years."[31] Brendan O'Neill of Spiked said that Libs of TikTok "has exposed just how insidious and dangerous woke indoctrination can be."[32]
