Libs of TikTokโs Chaya Raichik Stands Up to Big Tech Censorship
29 Sep 2022
CLAY: We are joined now by a woman who is doing phenomenal work helping to put a spotlight or maybe even just a mirror on far left-wing insanity that is occurring on social media that, frankly, your kids, your grandkids are experiencing on a day-to-day basis. Initially just on TikTok, also a popular Twitter feed. She is Chaya Raichik and she joins us now.
BUCK: @LibsOfTikTok is her account.
CLAY: @LibsOfTikTok is the account. But thereโs a lot of people listening โ thank you for making the time with us, Chaya โ in our audience that, frankly, arenโt super active on social media. So if you had to, Chaya, describe what you do and why that is considered controversial for an audience that may notโฆ They may have seen you on Tucker, but they may not be active on TikTok or Twitter or social media channels on a regular basis, paint them a picture for what it is that you do.
Lots of people have been asking how they can support me. I started a substack & will be posting some exclusive content for subscribers there. Itโs the best way to lend support and stay connected if I get banned from social media. I will never be silenced! https://t.co/WLwnY4m2bH

RAICHIK: Hi. Thanks for having me. So, I basically just hold up a mirror, like you said, to the left, and spotlight their most insane ideas. So, I take TikToks or screenshots, videos from at this point, not just TikTok, from all over the internet, and thereโs no editing, and I just post it, and Iโm like, โThis is whatโs happening, this is what the left is saying.โ And the reason that that is so controversial is because the left really wants to be able to do all of these things without anybody noticing.
So, for example, Iโve been focusing a lot on what they call โgender affirming careโ in hospitals, which translates into double mastectomies, hysterectomies and all kinds of other genital mutilation surgeries on kids, and itโs โcontroversialโ because they donโt want you to know that itโs happening. And Iโm like, โHey, look, this is happening at this and this hospital,โ and obviously they want to be able to do all these things. They want to be able to have kids performing in drag shows, they want to be able to do mutilation surgeries, they want to be able to get away with their whole agenda without anyone noticing, and Iโm noticing.
BUCK: Chaya, one thing Iโve seen and your work has led to much more of a discussion around the issues of drag shows where children are being exposed to clearly sexualized adult behaviors and, as you mentioned, the transition surgeries for minors. On that point there seemed to be even a few weeks ago an effort to say, โWell, these hospitals arenโt actually doing these things,โ and then it was, โWell, these hospitals are getting threats because people are talking about what theyโre doing,โ and now Iโve started to see, โOh, yes, no, these hospitals are engaged in the transition surgeries for children, and hereโs data that suggests this is actually good for them.โ Itโs stunning to see how the narrative shifts depending on the political needs of the moment of the left.
RAICHIK: Itโs very out of the leftist playbook. They tried it with CRT in schools. They tried it with sex and the sexualization of gender ideology in schools, and youโre a hundred percent right. In terms of these transition surgeries, that transition from โitโs not happeningโ to โitโs happening and hereโs why itโs goodโ was really, really fast. It happened really quick, quicker than anything else Iโve seen, and it just shows that theyโre really desperate. They really want to keep chopping kids up. Like, they really want to do it.
And theyโre gonna do everything they can to ensure that they can continue doing it, which is actually why Iโm currently on a seven-day Twitter suspension because I had posted a threadโฆ I mean, they didnโt tell me exactly why, but I think itโs because of a threat I posted about a surgeon saying that she does surgeries on minors, and they justโฆ Theyโre so desperate that theyโre calling for anyone who noticed it to be censored, to be silenced, and in addition to that now, theyโre saying that itโs actually a good thing. So, theyโre just gonna keep going. (laughs) I mean, honestly, I hope they keep going with that. If what they want to do is say, โHey, look, gender surgeries on minors are actually good things,โ great. Go with that. Weโll just blast that all over the place because I think most of America agrees that itโs actually abuse.
CLAY: Weโre talking to Chaya Raichik. She is with the @LibsOfTikTok account.
BUCK: She is @LibsOfTikTok, essentially.
CLAY: Yeah, she effectively is. I wanted to give you an opportunity. You said youโre suspended right now for seven days from Twitter. This has been ongoing. And, in fact, the left wing legacy media, the Washington Post in particular have come after you with guns blazing, which โ as Buck and I have had happen to us and lots of people who listen to this show know โ is actually a sign that you are making a substantial impact. But Iโd like for our audience that may not be familiar with it to know, on an individual basis โ as you said just effectively for holding a mirror up to whatโs going on in our society โ what the left has tried to do to you individually as a result of what you are putting out there on social media.
RAICHIK: So, first of all, they doxed me. The Washington Post doxed me and I think I might be the victim of the most Twitter suspensions. I think I may have a world record.
CLAY: Good for you, by the way.
RAICHIK: (chuckles) I believe this is number seven. Yeah. And again, I know it just means Iโm over the target. So, theyโre really frustrated by it being shown what theyโre doing, like I said, showing them talk about the gender affirming โ what they call โgender affirming,โ which is really child mutilation โ surgeries. They feel really threatened by it because they just donโt want people knowing. And whenever I show whatโs going on, they call for my silencing. So we had Washington Post, you know, ask Twitter to suspend me. NPR did that too. Thereโs a lot of blue checks on Twitter begging Twitter to suspend me. Theyโre really going hard after me. Iโll admit itโs tough sometimes, but Iโm very strong, and we are not gonna let this hinder our work because what weโre doing is extremely, extremely important for the future of this country.
BUCK: Weโre speaking to Chaya Raichik, @LibsOfTikTok founder, and it is critical. Honestly, youโreโฆ I mean, when I think about people that are adding really documentary or evidentiary components to these major discussions weโre having, you know, it just shows you what the left thinks; Chris Rufo finding the actual documents being taught in schools with CRT. Itโs so essential to have the receipts, as they say.
And youโre showing the receipts of the other side. They get so angry about this, which is fascinating, cause, as you say, youโre not even doing commentary. Youโre just sharing what is being said. Iโm so fascinated by this point of it, though. Big Tech, when they slap you down with a suspension or anything else, is there ever any explanation as to how you can be โviolating community guidelinesโ for sharing what somebody else has already shared from the left?
CLAY: Yeah.
RAICHIK: So there was, like, three of the times they made us delete a tweet and they made up a reason for why it violated their rules even though it didnโt. But the past two times, my two seven-day suspensions were just general โhateful conduct.โ They didnโt tell us, โThis is the tweet,โ and in fact people have been reporting our account, and we get that report, right, and Twitter says, โWeโre required to let you know that your account has been reported and we found it did not violate the Twitter policy.โ We got that for tweets and for my profile in general. So theyโre telling us at the same time, โYou didnโt violate our policies, but you also have hateful conduct; so weโre just gonna suspend you for seven days.โ And the reason theyโre doing that is because the entire leftist media is really campaigning them to suspend us, and Twitter is just caving to them.
BUCK: I have to ask, are you ever surprised by how insane the left is now that youโre doing this work? I mean, obviously you saw something which is why you set this up and youโve been on this, the biggest radio show, youโve been on Turkโs show and Seanโs show at Fox, the biggest TV shows on Fox News. Does it ever just make you think how did people get so crazy? And also, Democrats donโt repudiate this stuff. At least not what I see. They justโฆ We see these things, and you bring up the child mutilation, for example, going at the hospitals; for the most part, this stuff is, โYeah, thatโs whatโs going on.โ

RAICHIK: So, I think at this point Iโm a little bit immune to it, and nothing I see really shocks me anymore. I mean, I posted a video a week ago about a drag show, which it was advertised as only a drag show, but it ended up actually being a stripper show. They had a stripper on stage, literally a stripper barely wearing anything with a child right in the front row like handing the stripperโฆ I donโt know him or her, I have no idea.
BUCK: I saw this clip on your account, by the way, yeah.
RAICHIK: Yeah. So when I saw that I was like, oh, my God. And then this Iโm like, โWell, of course the left is doing this.โ I became a little bit desensitized to their insanity just because I deal with this all day. But I think they have no limits. I mean, I think theyโre only gonna get more and more insane. And, I mean, I think theyโre obviously trying with their whole MAP thing, Minor-Attracted Person, to normalize pedophilia. I think weโre gonna go in that direction. Weโre gonna see that happen on a much larger scale. I think the left is gonna go there and itโs not gonna surprise me. Iโm just gonna be like, โWell, of course. Theyโre insane. This is what theyโre doing now.โ They just keep getting more and more insane and moving the goalposts for insanity.
In anticipation of an extended legal fight with Twitter (we all know itโs just a matter of time before the permanent ban), weโve set up a legal defense fund. You can read more about it and find a link to donate in Chayaโs latest Substack post.https://t.co/CAsnJb29b3
โ Seth Dillon (@SethDillon) September 28, 2022
CLAY: Chaya, do you have a good legal team? And the reason why Iโm asking is, weโve had Alex Berenson on this show a lot, and Twitter banned him. And you said right now you may be the most banned person on Twitter (chuckles), which is, I think, kind of a stamp of authority that youโre having a lot of influence. But do you have a team that can mobilize if they decide to try to knock you off permanently in the same way that Alex Berenson did?
RAICHIK: Yes. So, we actually hired Alexโs attorney. So, he obviously has a good track record.
CLAY: Good for you.
After winning a lawsuit against Twitter, Alex Berenson plans to sue the White House.

RAICHIK: I think heโs the only one in the world to ever do that successfully. So, we hired him, and he is amazing, and we have a legal defense fund set up. We have a team of attorneys, and we are preparing for a lawsuit against Twitter.
BUCK: Where should people follow your work, by the way? I mean, very few of our audience I think are gonna be on TikTok, but are you set up with either a Substack or are you on TRUTH Social, or Rumble, any of those?
RAICHIK: So, Iโm on all social media platforms @LibsOfTikTok and Substack. LibsOfTikTok.com redirects to Substack and thatโs really where weโre gonna focus all of our effort when we do eventually get banned โ if and when we get banned โ and we also put out content on there weekly: So, LibsOfTikTok.com. And also TRUTH Social, Rumble, yeah.
BUCK: Please, everybody, go. If youโre on any of these social accounts, go follow @LibsOfTikTok. Itโs critical. Sometimes the stuff you watch itโs just mind-blowing but really important work. Chaya Raichik, thanks so much for being with us, and weโll have you back on soon.
RAICHIK: Thank you.
