Libs of TikTok has easily been one of the most successful conservative social media ventures of the last several years, which means that—surprise—most of the people running social media want it banned forever from every platform.
Twitter is no different. They have already suspended the account three times.
Now, internal conversations show that they're just really, really raring to get her banned completely:
[A leaked] Slack conversation ... was shared with us by a Twitter employee, who wishes to remain anonymous. We verified the names and images of the employees before we obscured them.
The conversation itself is darkly hilarious, ranging from a whiny sort of petulance that Libs of TikTok is allowed to exist at all, to a Communist China-style struggle session in which one employee has to issue a groveling apology for not being sufficiently woke or something:
* * *
* * *
* * *
This is just absolutely golden:
"I apologize — I was not speaking from my own perspective but applying a commentary on how leadership has behaved recently. I could have phrased that better and will be more conscious in future messages. I despise and despair the activity that is currently flourishing on our platform and empowering white supremacists/fascists to act with impunity in conducting harmful emotional and physical violence on trans folx and the broader LGBTQ+ community."
This truly is a self-ablation worthy of Stalinist Russia.
Yet of course, as Libs of TikTok notes:
[Y]ou don't need leaked messages to know just how biased and agenda-driven these people are. The messages only confirm what we already see with our own eyes every day.
That's very true—but of course the messages themselves are just so darn entertaining!
