"“Libs of TikTok” owner Chaya Raichik received mixed reactions on Monday after she took a grinning photo with an article that alleged her account had inspired bomb threats.

It's a triple nut sundae, the featured tik-tokers are nuts, Chaya is nuts, and the right wing audience issuing bomb threats are nuts.

[Merglet]

100% behind Ana on this, just use common sense, if you want to show sexually.. implicit photos online, do it in a private forum for adults. That's all. We're not asking anyone to completely suppress their identity. Unless that identity is to tell kids to look at sexually provocative photos on publicly accessible social media. In that case, get a job where you don't deal with kids. Because that's just common sense.

[bloo]

Amazing how you can wield an army of simple minded idiots to do so much damage and not get your hands dirty. I guess its one of those things that will probably work itself out outside the law.

[jawant]

The campaigns don't lead to the bomb threats. She's not responsible for the actions of lunatics. Give it a rest with the stupid hit pieces aimed at censorship.

[Kelbor_Hal]

How about we ban TikTok entirely? I like that idea.

[thespectre]

She (Raichick ) condemns the violence yet she was the one who incited the violence in the first place!! Like that makes sense

[tedkendrick]

Anna is gonna pull a Rubin any day now

[SnuffTheBeast]

Kids shouldn't be let alone to surf social media sites. Parents need to take more responsibility.

[ericfaz]

Target? Don't you mean "expose."

[tylerharris]

Who thinks that the Chinese is probably using tik Tok to gather information?

[laurad]

He'll I'm a 40 year old woman with 4 boys and tunes clamped fior 12 yes now.... I want a hysterectomy! I'm done having kids and so over menstruation for zero purpose.. I'm not allowed to get a hysterectomy now matter how much I beg my doctor. I was told I need to have a medical (life threatening) readon to remove unnecessary organs from my own old body....

[ctsbathory]

Pictures of people in drag is not offensive for kids! What are these alleged photos showing. Ana makes it seem like these were porn or something. Is this a drama teacher?

[detritusofseattle]

I disagree with saying teachers shouldn't post stuff like that on social media. What a teacher does outside of class is no one's business. If kids go look up their teachers and find it on their own initiative, then maybe you should be a parent and stop them.

That said, maybe don't actively encourage your students to go find your socials if they're full of sexual content? Or maybe even at all?

[marklapworth]

That was a teacher in drag? Nah. That was S & M stuff, wasn't it?

[Nonquack]

I bet if the school fired the teacher they would get no bomb threats.

[dogoman]

Are you guys going to cover the Jewish man killed in LA by pro-Hamas activists?

[GPFaster]

Ana knows that there's no such thing as trans.
But I respect her for collecting a paycheck

[tedkendrick]

Its funny that Cenk is far more progressive than Anna now😂

[JRods]

Libs of tiktok only reposts what these people have already made public themselves.
