Original: She helped lead a far-right internet movement. Then it turned on her.
A woman who helped lead a far-right internet movement has become a target of that same movement, according to a Washington Post report. The story examines how online extremist communities frequently reject figures who once helped build them, often over accusations of disloyalty, moderation or personal controversy, leaving former leaders facing harassment from their one-time followers.
Why now: The irony of a movement's leader being turned on by her own followers is drawing wide attention.
