Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/em><\/h2>\n

According to the Daily Caller News Foundation\u2019s (DCNF) Peter Hasson, Rivitz\u2019s identity as the until-now anonymous founder is confirmed<\/a> by\u00a0clues left in Rivitz\u2019s media interviews and social media posts by people in his \u201csocial and professional circles.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Rivitz himself long ago deleted his Twitter and Facebook accounts, as well as his professional websites.<\/em><\/p>\n

The group\u2019s modus operandi is consistent throughout its campaigns: use social media in cooperation<\/a> with other well-funded left-wing groups like Media Matters for America and Think Progress to urge their followers to contact advertisers en masse \u2013 expressing their outrage that companies dare advertise with conservatives \u2013 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.<\/em><\/p>\n
