Social media

Joshua Goldberg

Veiszadeh fell victim to Internet troll Joshua Ryne Goldberg, who was later convicted by the US Government of attempting a bombing on the 14th anniversary of 9/11.^[6] Goldberg posted to The Daily Stormer as neo-Nazi under the pseudonym Michael Slay, and contributed to feminist blog Feministing under the pseudonym Tanya Cohen. He promoted an illusory friendship between Australi Witness (his pro-ISIL Twitter account) and Veiszadeh, with the objective of smearing Veiszadeh's reputation.^[7] Under the name "Michael Slay", Goldberg wrote the majority of articles on The Daily Stormer criticising Veiszadeh, including the initial piece criticising her stance on the flag shirt. Upon learning the true identity of the writer, website owner Andrew Anglin removed all content by Goldberg.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}}
