In addition to employment details and private data, Lorenz published a link to the creator's home address. The publication has since deleted the embedded link.

“Taylor Lorenz is an accomplished and diligent journalist whose reporting methods comply entirely with The Washington Post’s professional standards,” Cameron Bar, the senior managing editor of the outlet said in a comment on April 19. “We did not publish or link to any details about her personal life.”
“Tim Pool and the CEO of the Daily Wire took out a giant billboard in Times Square today in an attempt to discredit my reporting on Libs of TikTok,” Lorenz said on Twitter. She called the billboard a “bad faith, politically motivated” attack before blocking Pool on the platform.
“You don’t need any help discrediting yourself. @Timcast is just making sure people know,” said Boreing in reply.
"It's funny how they are claiming my ad in Times Square was a waste and wouldn't do anything yet they are imploding over me having done it," Pool said. "Seems to be effective. ... Bad people don't like being called out."
