Twitter Bans Veritas Founder James O’Keefe — He Threatens Lawsuit In Response
Twitter permanently banned Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe on Thursday, accusing the controversial right-wing personality of violating the social network’s spam and platform manipulation rules — but O’Keefe says he plans on suing Twitter in response.
“This is false, this is defamatory, and they will pay,” O’Keefe said in a statement, which was sent through a Project Veritas spokesperson and posted to his Telegram account. “Section 230 may have protected them before, but it will not protect them from me.”
Most recently, the group released a string of videos targeting CNN: It leaked audio from months’ worth of CNN editorial meetings last year, and it posted videos of an apparent CNN staffer claiming the network deliberately tried to undermine former President Donald Trump and his allies.
