Influencers, such as Libs of TikTok, play a cat-and-mouse game with social media platforms, “paying close attention to the company’s twists and turns in their terms of service,” to purposefully dance around the rules https://t.co/4davub7Nsv — PolitiTweet.org

In a Substack post on Monday, Raichik says she’ll continue her campaign against children’s hospitals. https://t.co/4davub7Nsv — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

Healthcare providers say Raichik’s campaign is already having an effect on ppl’s ability to seek care. Providers have scrubbed information from the internet, taking down their websites and removing public phone numbers for fear of becoming the next target https://t.co/4davub7Nsv — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

In a statement, Shopify defended Raichik’s presence and ability to monetize on Shopify. “We host businesses of all stripes and sizes, with various worldviews,” a spokesperson said, declining to be named and refusing to elaborate on the company’s policies https://t.co/4davub7Nsv — PolitiTweet.org

“Libs of TikTok relies on monetizing through Shopify and Substack. They use these funds in continuing their work to target children’s hospitals and getting them shut down,” said @ErinInTheMorn https://t.co/4davub7Nsv — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

Libs of TikTok is monetizing heavily by selling merch on a Shopify site. As of Thursday morning, over 4,300 users submitted reports to Shopify to drop Libs of TikTok https://t.co/4davub7Nsv — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

On Tuesday, activists launched a campaign to pressure Shopify to drop Libs of TikTok, claiming Raichik’s store was in violation of Shopify’s acceptable use policy, which bans hateful content and goods or services https://t.co/4davub7Nsv — PolitiTweet.org

.@BostonJoan said she sees parallels btw Twitter’s inability to handle Libs of TikTok and the way it failed to deal w QAnon and the Stop the Steal movement, both of which faced a crackdown only after numerous acts of violence had been tied to their content https://t.co/4davuaQKqv — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter employees warned colleagues to take action against Libs of TikTok, saying it was “only a matter of time” before the posts led to violence. Me, @lizzadwoskin and @PeteJamison on the fallout from Libs of TikTok’s escalating attacks https://t.co/4davub7Nsv — PolitiTweet.org

Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz

It’s so crucial to have reporters like @kattenbarge covering important stories like this. So few people in the media understand how to cover hate campaigns/online harassment. We desperately need more reporters like @kattenbarge and @oneunderscore__ https://t.co/K5w40o1EnD — PolitiTweet.org
