Verrit was a liberal leaning political site created by Peter Daou and his wife Leela Daou that showed talking points for use in social media discussions. The site suspended all functionality—including verifying the seven-digit identification codes of previously issued Verrit cards—on February 11, 2018, with the website replaced by only the words: "Reboots Summer 2018". No warning or explanation was given for the suspension. As of October 2021, the domain redirects to the now-suspended Twitter profile This comes on the heels of Peter Daou bowing out of public activism. As of January 2019, the domain redirected to Verrit's Twitter profile, an account which as of May 2019 has been suspended.

  • Verrit was a liberal leaning political site created by Peter Daou and his wife Leela Daou that showed talking points for use in social media discussions. The site suspended all functionality—including verifying the seven-digit identification codes of previously issued Verrit cards—on February 11, 2018, with the website replaced by only the words: "Reboots Summer 2018". No warning or explanation was given for the suspension. As of October 2021, the domain redirects to the now-suspended Twitter profile This comes on the heels of Peter Daou bowing out of public activism. As of January 2019, the domain redirected to Verrit's Twitter profile, an account which as of May 2019 has been suspended. The website's slogan said it was "media for the 65.8 million," referring to the number of votes Hillary Clinton received in the 2016 presidential election. Daou, an adviser to Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign, and prior chief executive of Shareblue told Business Insider that he intended the website to "reflect the worldview" of those who voted for Clinton and described the site as an "online hub for Clinton backers so that they can find easy-to-share facts, stats and other information you can take out to social media when you're having debates on key issues people are discussing". Daou also said the website had no financial ties to Clinton. On September 3, 2017, Clinton endorsed the service. Shortly thereafter, the site went offline, which Daou blamed on a "significant and sophisticated" cyber attack. Five months later, the site remained offline. When a journalist for Splinter News contacted company representatives requesting comment on its status, he reports he was blocked by the company's Twitter account. (en)
