Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz, who allegedly doxxed Libs of TikTok and then denied it, has been suspended from former President Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform and is now screaming she’s “being silenced by Big Tech.”
Lorenz was accused of revealing the identity and personal details of the Libs of TikTok Twitter account in one of her articles for The Washington Post last week.
“I’m being silenced by big tech,” she proclaimed on Twitter while showing an image of an email that was allegedly from Truth Social informing her that she had been suspended. She heatedly claimed that she “didn’t do anything” once again.
It remains to be seen whether she was actually suspended or there was some sort of glitch. The platform has had a number of issues since it launched in February.

The reporter formerly worked for The New York Times. Lorenz purportedly published a piece for The Washington Post that outed the identity and personal details of the woman who is behind the hugely popular and viral Twitter account called Libs of TikTok. The account is infamous for re-posting videos of leftist woke teachers and others who are doing things that parents should be aware of as far as transgenderism and other issues.
Lorenz went so far as to tell CNN host Brian Stelter on his “Reliable Sources” show Sunday that the owner of Libs of TikTok could be a “foreign actor,” which is why she contends that she felt the need to investigate who was behind the account.
“So, I started following the account and looking into it, and I noticed it was gaining more and more traction, like more and more high profile people were retweeting it, engaging with it. And then earlier this year when all of the groomer discourse really took hold, I started really — you know, I was like, I got to find out who’s behind this account and what the deal is with the account, because it just — it was the thing where like the account would post a video, and within 24 hours, sometimes it would be on Fox News, or it would written up in the whole right-wing media. And it was just like a feeding ground,” Lorenz noted.

“I think it’s rare to see an account gain so much prominence so quickly and be shaping these narratives in such an effective way, especially against trans people,” she asserted. “And I think it’s incredibly important, you know, as someone that covers the influencer industry to know who is exerting influence in this way. I mean, for all we knew, this could have been a foreign actor, right, or someone — we just didn’t know.”
She claimed that the account was “targeting” LGBTQ people.
“This woman is targeting LGBTQ folks. I mean, she brags about getting multiple teachers fired. You know, the entire goal of the account is direct hate to trans and LGBTQ people,” Lorenz charged. “You know, she said that she doesn’t believe gay people who come out should be allowed to teach children.”
Libs of TikTok has exposed teachers who reportedly discuss gender-fluidity and sexual identity with young students and the things they say about parents.
Meanwhile, it appears that the Wayback Machine archive has scrubbed a long list of tweets from Lorenz limiting further scrutiny of her posts.

Using an alternative archive service, I see that Taylor previously had at least 16,800 tweets.
Only under 3,500 now.
Why has she deleted some tweets? pic.twitter.com/jP5oiJGPeY
