A Monday report revealed Matt Rivitz, a San Francisco-based ad executive, as the founder of Sleeping Giants, the anonymous leftist group that organizes social media mobs in an effort to silence conservative voices. According to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s (DCNF) Peter Hasson, Rivitz’s identity as the until-now anonymous founder is confirmed by clues left in Rivitz’s media interviews and social media posts by people in his “social and professional circles.” Rivitz himself long ago deleted his Twitter and Facebook accounts, as well as his professional websites. The group’s modus operandi is consistent throughout its campaigns: use social media in cooperation with other well-funded left-wing groups like Media Matters for America and Think Progress to urge their followers to contact advertisers en masse – expressing their outrage that companies dare advertise with conservatives – until the companies relent and pull their ads. Equally consistent is their goal in organizing these social media mobs: pressure corporate America to blacklist conservative audiences.

So, now we know who is behind the entire left wing machine, the "Sleeping Giants". twitter.com... (click this and then the search button)

They direct people, over 200,000 of them, to visit conservative websites and then harass the advertisers until they pull ads from their site, killing their funding. The guy behind all this, Matt Rivits, AKA "Pajamas Boy" (The guy from the Obamacare ad), is their founder who was hiding behind the scenes.

Now he is no longer able to hide and he's complaining that people are attacking him, after he had angry mobs attacking everything conservative. What say you, ATS?

What goes around comes around.

And also shows what eager little sheep leftists are to be so easily led around where ever their 1%er masters send them.

A concerted attempt by the left to silence any viewpoint that isn't their own?

So it's like CNNBC but on a social media platform.

Can't wait for the left to come on the thread and start screaming about the sleeping giant's first amendment rights.

Some of which are probably a part of said orginization... lol

S&F... good find and further proof that the left is a lot smaller part of America then they think.

And bullies to boot.

What are the odds they use bots to amplify their "voice" of supposedly 200,000?

Someone should investigate that.

Lmao. Where's all that right-wing outrage about a right-wing media outlet doxxing somebody?

Make sure you're consistent with your opinions here:

***BREAKING*** MSM now actively Doxxing private citizens because 'opinions'.

@AmyMek has twice as many followers as @slpng_giants

Hmmm...never paid attention to this group, but I know one thing for The Daily Caller--they better hope that they have this right, splashing a dude's name and picture across the page along with his wife's name.

He sure looks like the kind of guy who would hide behind anonymity, though, doesn't he?

He admitted to it on twitter and cried that people were now harassing him.

Well then...I guess he's reaping what he sowed. When you run a group focused on harassing businesses, prepare to be harassed when your identity is unmasked.

Why am I not surprised that ATS is cheering this but cried when Nazis were getting doxxed?
