Great thread below here's a rundown:
• Greg Boulden reported that
@ConservativeOG
lost its organizational verification on X, exposing their network.
•
@LauraLoomer
doxxed
@sriramk
, Donald Trump's AI policy advisor pick, leading to the removal of her X verification badge for violating privacy policies.
• After losing verification,
@ConservativeOG
and affiliates blamed
@elonmusk
for censorship over immigration posts in a discussion on X.
• The incident revealed that Conservative, an organization, held verification badges for Loomer and at least 50 other influencers, questioning the purpose of the organization and its affiliates.
Several influencers associated with Conservative lost their verification status, including
@LauraLoomer
,
@GavinWax
,
@OwenShroyer1776
,
@ChiefTrumpster
,
@CassandraRules
,
@isabellamoody_
,
@jackunheard
, and
@rawsalerts
.
Conservative is owned by Jake Little and co-founded by Gregory Disser, connected to a hybrid Super PAC, with financial transactions showing funds funneled back to Conservative LLC.
During the election year, Conservative influencers were found to be critical of paid posts by Democrat influencers while engaging in similar practices themselves.
@jackunheard
was involved in inviting influencers to join the affiliate program of Conservative.
Gregory Disser, associated with Conservative, removed his work experience from LinkedIn after being contacted for comment on the story.
@ThePrestonParra
, who manages the X account for ConservativeOG, attempted to engage Boulden but then blocked him, suggesting discomfort with the exposure of their practices.
A former affiliate,
@SarahisCensored
, shared messages indicating she declined paid opportunities to maintain her journalistic integrity.
The discussion also touched on the broader implications of social media platforms like X and Instagram allowing paid influencer content without transparency, potentially manipulating algorithms and user feeds.
The practice of paying influencers to promote content is common, with specific rates discussed for posting on behalf of Conservative or related entities."
