Twitter suspends Proj. Veritas founder James O'Keefe - No reason given

Seems reasonable.

[N0rds]

They use violence to shut down free speech, use massive censorship to stop dissenting voices, and shut down actual journalists who expose corruption, and they have the gall to call US fascists...

100% projection from the leftists.

Honk honk.

Reason:

“The account you referenced (@JamesOKeefeIII) was permanently suspended for violating the Twitter Rules on platform manipulation and spam,” a Twitter spokesperson said in a email to The Hill.

“As outlined in our policy on platform manipulation and spam, 'You can’t mislead others on Twitter by operating fake accounts,' and 'you can’t artificially amplify or disrupt conversations through the use of multiple accounts,'” the spokesperson said.

Weird. Break the rules, get suspended. Never heard of that before.....

[JimFromRaleigh1]

If you don’t like Twitter, don’t use it.

Follow the rules

[JUSA]

Let's see how this one plays out before the usual,

a) "I love CNN and hate O'Keefe... he's in the wrong!" or b) "I love O'Keefe exposing CNN... he's in the right!"

He had to know he was on eggshells, that Twitter isn't going to treat him fairly and would be looking for any excuse. If he actually did violate some rule or have multiple sockpuppet accounts to 'engage' with? Well, it kind of sucks he'd get a permanent ban over that, something anyone non-controversial wouldn't, but like I opened with, that's on him. He should have played perfectly by the rules (if he didn't).

As it stands, I believe he's suing for defamation. So he might be arguing it's not true and maybe it isn't. For once can we all put our partisan BS aside and let it play out rather than just demand whatever person we more closely agree with politically is somehow in the right on this case?

Whether you like or dislike or agree with him, none of that has any impact on whether he actually did do this or not and it should play out in court...

Really politics don't play much of a role aside from, I don't like to be lied to and I don't like government propaganda. It just happens that one side is more often caught peddling propaganda and lying to the public. That's just my opinion though.

[terrorgunt]

TeH TwItTeR RUlES!!!!


lol @ people who use Twitter. Serious subhuman IQ required.

[chaunce54]

lol, we know the reason why OP. The narratives and agendas must be protected at all costs...

[mvitz]

How is everyone's censored media working out for you?

[JimFromRaleigh1]

Why can’t trump cucks follow rules?

[ParsleyTea]

It's the usual, progressives working with social media to censor conservatives to silence opposition. Democrats don't believe in free speech. They want to see less speech.

I hope eventually this social media cancel culture issue is put to an end. I enjoyed this article on the topic ~

"Progressive figures work hand-in-hand with social media to silence opponents"

https://nypost.com/2021/04/16/progre...nce-opponents/

excerpt:

Just months after ******** retaliated against the government of Australia by effectively canceling the flow of the country’s information, the company is at it again – this time, wielding its outsized power to shield progressive political figures from public criticism.

Yesterday, ********’s nearly 3 billion users worldwide discovered they could not share a New York Post story about a Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors, a self-identified Marxist, purchasing several high-end homes. The story was blocked from circulation on all of ********’s social media services: the platform itself, Instagram, as well as ******** messenger.

When pressed for its reasoning, ******** declared that the story violated their community standards by providing “personal or confidential information” or images “in violation of their privacy rights.” Odd, because, according to the Post, all of the information in its reporting, including the photos, was gathered from public records. No addresses were shared.

By now, the hypocrisy of ******** – and Big Tech, more generally – is well worn territory. These are the same platforms who made up reasons to block circulation of a separate New York Post story about influence peddling in the Biden family weeks before the 2020 election.

Likewise, ******** made no effort to reduce circulation of a stories containing the illegally leaked details of President Trump’s tax returns, or secretly recorded conversations with Melania Trump.

Information about celebrity home purchases, including sale prices and photos, circulate daily. So, too, do images of revenge pornography, child abuse, and sex trafficking – which ******** claims before Congress and in court it should not be held responsible.

That’s because ********’s content policies aren’t really concerned with privacy, or with protecting personal information. They’re about protecting the politically and culturally powerful by suppressing criticism, punishing dissent, and crushing counter-narratives......

[Stizzel]

Honestly does anyone that doesn't have blue hair and a lisp even use twitter anymore?

It’s hilarious. Tech companies stifle free speech at the behest of their leftist government overlords. They get their protection, and their MSNBC-drugged lemmings can repeat the hurr durr Twitter is a private company nonsense. Even though anyone with an above-room temperature IQ can see that these social media companies are nothing more than the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party.

[CrimsonSteel]

"I, for one, welcome bit tech oligarchs controlling the flow of information. I love being spoon-fed my talking points. I have no moral conviction; only political allegiance. Comply! It's a private platform! Make your own platform if you don't like it, and when it gets banned we'll gloat even more! Our entire lives revolve around being obnoxious brats hyper-politicized by the propaganda that was just outed; it makes us feel important. This is in no way a cult!"

[MMeadows11]

Waaaaah!!! Right wing liars aren't allowed to break the rules of Twitter and other platforms!!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Reason:

Except literally nothing violated the rules of "manipulation" or "spam". The video wasn't edited or altered, and is the genuine recording of a CNN executive admitting that his network manipulates the truth in order to sell a certain narrative.

[saltypits]

If you don’t like Twitter, don’t use it.

Follow the rules

What rules were broken?

Damn, hadn't realized this. This is so.....#NOT FAIR.

You're a victim.

[HurfDurf]

And they still dont know what free speech is lol.
You dont have the right to use anyone platform, they can boot you for any reason they want.

[MiscInformed]

I don't respect anyone who still uses twitter. It's a circle jerk echo chamber for idiots, narcissists, and marxists.

The single biggest complaint I had about Trump was his addiction to twitter and allowing that ******* Dorsey to routinely censor him without bringing the full fury of the DOJ down on him.

[fitnessislife]

What rules were broken?

Exposing Democrats for what they are.

[adamsteve14]

Fify

You are one of the few that are going to truly deserve the dystopian hellscape you took part in creating.

[hackerwacker]

Obviously this was coming. They just cucked tf out of cnn and the msm. They are trying to mitigate damage

[JimFromRaleigh1]

Trumpers are such cucks

“MUH 1A!”

Um Twitter is a private company lol

Trumpers keeping their room temp IQs

[GreatOldOne]

Project bull**** racing to delete their sock puppets before they get kicked off of youtube.

[JimFromRaleigh1]

MUH 1a

God Trumpers are dumb

[Phil9]

Weird. Break the rules, get suspended. Never heard of that before.....

Crazy concept!

[tk217]

Just don't use twitter.

[5x10]

Oh no, Twitter!
