Liz Crokin lost her twitter blue tick after flinging accusations at Chrissy Teigan (re: Pizzagate)

[Siwsan]

I have never heard of this woman before stumbling on this article during my daily guilty pleasure browse through The Daily Mail. And to be honest, I have no idea what the twitter blue tick thing even means.

Twitter REMOVES verified blue tick from account of alt-right troll who accused Chrissy Teigen of child sex trafficking and being involved in the Pizzagate hoax

A right-wing conspiracy theorist has been stripped of her Twitter verification after she posted photos of Chrissy Teigen and John Legend's daughter and accused them of being part of a celebrity pedophile ring.

Liz Crokin, who has 50,000 Twitter followers and says she is an investigative journalist, posted the photos last week of 20-month-old Luna dressed in various costumes including a pineapple, hotdog and Alice in Wonderland.

Crokin also pointed out that Teigen had used a pizza emoji on one of her Snapchat photos of her daughter, linking her to the Pizzagate conspiracy theory that claimed Hillary Clinton was using a Washington pizza restaurant to run a child sex trafficking ring.

An outraged Teigen took to social media on Saturday to share screenshots of some of Crokin's tweets and to slam Twitter for verifying the alt-right user's account.

put up with crap like that.

5. I've posted stuff about Liz Crokin before...

She fits the bill of a paranoid schizophrenic.

A zealot who will never give up, even if she ends up sued into bankruptcy or thrown in jail.

6. GO CHRISSY!

7. ...all you need to know...

Liz Crokin is a contributing writer for Jared Kushner's NY Observer, and has been for years.

She's a royal shit. I hope Legend and Teigan sue her sorry conservative ass off.

11. I googled her man, but only all I found that she sued some guy for giving her herpes

Not sure if it is resolved, yet. The case,that is. Really not sure about the herpes.

Right Wing Watch has been following her since she first popped up.

9. About Twitter Verified Accounts

The blue verified badge on Twitter lets people know that an account of public interest is authentic.

The badge appears next to the name on an account’s profile and next to the account name in search results. It is always the same color and placed in the same location, regardless of profile or theme color customizations.

Accounts that don’t have the badge next to their name but that display it somewhere else, for example in the profile photo, header photo, or bio, are not verified accounts.

Verified badges must be applied by Twitter, and accounts that use a badge as a part of profile photos, background photos, or in any other way that implies verified status, are subject to permanent account suspension.

What types of accounts get verified?
An account may be verified if it is determined to be an account of public interest. Typically this includes accounts maintained by users in music, acting, fashion, government, politics, religion, journalism, media, sports, business, and other key interest areas.

A verified badge does not imply an endorsement by Twitter.

10. Thanks!

12. You can also pay to get verified.

Many articles on the process. Not cheap, but it happens quite a bit.
