I feel confident that if a Fox crew did to Taylor what Taylor did to this citizen - show up at the homes of her relatives to dig for dirt - a national media and mental health crisis would be declared. That's because, again, this has nothing to do with journalism: just politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One last attempt to clarify the rules: Is it OK for people to show up tomorrow at Taylor's house and the homes of her relatives to ask questions about her? I have a feeling that wouldn't be applauded, even though Taylor, unlike the Twitter user she "exposed," is a public figure — PolitiTweet.org

Journalism isn't about just exposing things for the sake of it. It's about exposing matters in the public interest about *powerful institutions*: CIA/NSA, Wall St, oligarchs, politicians. Using Jeff Bezos' money to expose private citizens for having bad politics is gross. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Kind of meant this as hyperbole in a reply but it's now clear that it's more literal than hyperbolic. https://t.co/R8qaFsOnn3 — PolitiTweet.org

@detetivevsilva Yeah, I don't think having a newspaper owned by the world's richest man or second-richest should be using their resources to dox and expose anonymous users of social media. It's everything wrong with corporate journalism: they serve the powerful and only attack the powerless. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@detetivevsilva Again, I'm trying to understand your principle, if any: Is it journalistically valid to out any and all anonymous users of social media, or only if they have a powerful network behind them financing and directing them? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@QED76 @popespeed @ChristinaPushaw @TaylorLorenz @libsoftiktok Yes, liberals worship giant media corporations and think their resources shouldn't be used against powerful institutions like the CIA or NSA or Pentagon but against private, anonymous citizens with bad politics. That's what they think "journalism" is. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@detetivevsilva I investigate people with significant power and who have sought out public platforms, not anonymous users of social media. I think it's gross and abuse for the world's richest newspaper to turn its guns on private citizens. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

What's the new journalistic principle being applied? Is it now permissible for journalists to investigate and expose the real identity of any anonymous social media user? Or is it just permissible if the anonymous social media user has a certain kind of politics? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@detetivevsilva Can you answer what I asked? I'm trying to understand the principle you're applying. Can journalists expose any anonymous users of social media? Is it OK for me to show up tomorrow at Taylor's house and her aunts' and grandparents to ask questions about her? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@StevenJCBuckley @TaylorLorenz @libsoftiktok So can journalists validly expose the identity of all anonymous users on the internet or just ones whose politics you dislike? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

RT @jack: @brianstelter @pbump and you all are selling hope? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@detetivevsilva Can we go to Taylor's house and all the houses of her relatives to find out about Taylor, who uses her massive corporate journalistic platform to do the same? I have a feeling nobody will say that's valid. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@StevenJCBuckley @TaylorLorenz @libsoftiktok If I or a Fox crew showed up tomorrow at Taylor's house or the house of her relatives, I can promise hou nobody in the media would acknowledge this distinction you're trying to draw. And Taylor is a public person while this person is not. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Fucking unbelievable: @TaylorLorenz, after sobbing on national TV 2 weeks ago, claiming she's the victim of "harassment," showed up at the house of the relatives of the citizen behind @libsoftiktok and badgered them, according to @libsoftiktok. The bullies claim to be bullied. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is the framework corporate journalists are trying to construct and force you to accept. They can criticize, expose, bully, and destroy anyone they want: no limits. They're <whispered reverence> journalists. You can't criticize how they use their power. That's "harassment." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is what Taylor does: to teenagers, to obscure women on the internet, now to this anonymous Twitter use. That's what arouses her. But remember: the Real Victim™ is Taylor and her colleagues who publish articles in Jeff Bezos' newspaper. Coddle them. https://t.co/ucv7ICp4wm — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Only the narcissists in corporate media could take someone who grew up in Greenwich wealth and Swiss boarding schools, who regularly harms the lives of ordinary citizens with their massive journalistic platform, and tell the public: *she's* the victim and can't be criticized. https://t.co/nFT2FwNFM3 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One more time: you have the absolute right to criticize -- harshly -- the work of anyone who publishes articles in the West's most powerful newspapers -- one owned by one of the world's richest men -- and don't let anyone guilt you or manipulate you into believing you don't. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Taylor Lorenz is about to "expose" the private citizen behind some anonymous account on Twitter, and when people criticize her for it, she and her friends will claim Taylor is the Real Victim™ and anyone criticizing this type of "journalism" will be guilty of causing her trauma. — PolitiTweet.org

NYT: "The Ukrainians’ decision to saturate their own village with a cluster munition that has the capacity to haphazardly kill innocent people underscores their strategic calculation: This is what they needed to do to retake their country, no matter the cost." https://t.co/HiqS90nPJt — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In March, numerous reports showed Russia's use of cluster bombs in Ukraine, sparking outrage. A new NYT report says Ukraine used cluster bombs on one of its own villages, prompting denunciations from human rights groups: https://t.co/TvJz7ctYi7 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Everyone can read the decision for themselves and see what it concludes. You don't have to be a lawyer to understand that these journalists are lying. You just have to be unwilling to manipulate the public for tawdry political ends: https://t.co/dzcXhgp9xr https://t.co/4BL6dEusom — PolitiTweet.org

Liberal journalists understand this is how the system works - a single judge can invalidate the legality of a nationwide policy - and cheer for it when it produces an outcome they like politically. Whatever this is, it has nothing to do with journalism: https://t.co/iRGVJMt3x2 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's a legal, not a health policy, question. The way our system works is such cases get decided in the first instance by a Senate-confirmed federal judge, then an appellate court, then SCOTUS if they accept. But since liberals don't like they outcome, it's depicted as abnormal. https://t.co/cPX3OKvsBV — PolitiTweet.org

Writers for liberal outlets are trying to mislead the public into believing the judge in this case ruled on whether masks mandates are a good idea or not, even though they know it's a lie: the only question was whether the CDC had the legal and regulatory authority to order this: — PolitiTweet.org
