Career

In March, 2014 she launched with EFF activist Parker Higgins a periodic newsletter titled 5 Useful Articles that offered a wry take on intellectual property issues, current and historical.

In 2017, Forbes named Jeong to its "30 Under 30" media list.

Racially insensitive tweets

Jeong has posted a number of tweets displaying anti-white animus, including "Dumbass fucking white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants", "1) white men are bullshit ..." , "oh man it's kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men" , and "I dare you to get on Misplaced Pages and play 'Things white people can definitely take credit for,' it's really hard."
