- Q1: Shouldn't Wikipedia remove the identity of the account manager?
- A1: Community consensus is that the identity of the account manager should remain up.
- Q2: Didn't a Washington Post journalist doxx the account manager?
- A2: Reliable sources dispute this characterization and note that The Washington Post journalist only further publicized the identity of the account manager.
- Q3: Why is the account described as reposting content in a derogatory manner?
- A3: Reliable sources agree that the account editorializes the content it posts, specifically in a derogatory manner.
- Q4: The tweets about gender affirming care at hospitals weren't false, and I can prove it!
- A4: The Washington Post, USA Today, NPR, and PolitiFact, and other publications have rejected the tweets and claims by Libs of TikTok as false. Now-changed descriptions on hospital websites have been discredited by publications and hospitals as erroneous compared to actual hospital policy.
- Q5: This account isn't far-right and is actually only anti-grooming/anti-trans/right-wing/etc.
- A5: Right-wing and anti-trans does not preclude far-right. Sourcing from the Washington Post, NBC, USA Today, and Vice have all used far-right to directly describe the account, while other sources state the account retweets far-right content or directly enables far-right actions.
