You should look carefully at what Bari Weiss misquotes. Twitter's statement is about Libsoftiktok not doing something suspendable was limited to a short time period, not a blanket statement.

But "they got suspended 6 times for legitimate reasons and then the continued to behave badly while staying just inside the written bounds of the rules" isn't really a story.

I've yet to hear a legitimate reason. As far as I can tell, they just angered liberals by reposting their own (ridiculous) content. I'm liberal and even I think that's funny!

Perhaps you should take in information from sources more diverse than Weiss and Taibbi.

Like the Wikipedia page does a good job of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libs_of_TikTok#:~:text=terro.... Summarizing the suspensions, which were for misgendering and harassing trans people, primarily. That's the majority of what LTT produces, banal anti-trans propaganda. If you think that's funny, well, that's on you.

Wikipedia has the same bias as Twitter did. It's become worthless for anything political:

Ah yes, the idea that remaining objective is biased, and that instead one must simply uncritically reiterate what both sides say, with no regard for independent verification.

To put this another way: they're providing a useful service to document the absolute nonsense that some trans activists spout.

No. Calling family friendly events where people read to kids "grooming" isn't documenting "nonsense that some activists spout". It involves neither nonsense, nor trans activists.

They post about a lot more topics than this cultural oddity of drag queens wanting to read books to young children.

But on the broader topic of what the drag queens are up to, just look at this for example: https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1581050195399561217 - why should this type of performance be considered acceptable to show to kids?

I'm glad this account is holding these people to account.

All I've seen is they repost cringe videos that are sometimes made by trans people
