Twitter accused of protecting CNN after tech giant bans James O'Keefe: 'They're all on the same team'
[FoxNews] Project Veritas founder has vowed to file defamation suit against Twitter next week.

Project Veritas founder joins 'Hannity' to discuss his permanent suspension from the social media giant

Critics accused Twitter Thursday of banning Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe from its platform over the right-wing guerrilla news outlet's damning exposé of CNN.

Project Veritas relaunched its #ExposeCNN campaign this week by sharing footage of CNN technical director Charles Chester revealing the liberal network's dirty laundry. In the footage, Chester claimed that CNN's "focus" during the 2020 election campaign was to "get rid of" President Trump, that the network hyped its coronavirus coverage for "gangbuster" ratings, and that it aims to "help" Black Lives Matter.

On Thursday, O'Keefe's Twitter account, which was sharing Project Veritas' reporting, was permanently suspended over alleged use of "fake accounts."

"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,'" a Twitter spokesperson told Fox News.

O'Keefe categorically denied Twitter's assertions, telling Fox News that he vows to sue the tech giant for defamation.

"Twitter banned Carpe Donktum right after his viral parody of CNN with the babies and they banned James O'Keefe after he released videos of a CNN employee that embarrassed the company," wrote Daily Caller social media associate Greg Price, recalling Twitter's suspension of the pro-Trump meme creator.

Twitter did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

Twitter has also been the subject of recent Project Veritas exposés. In January, the outlet obtained and published internal remarks by top executives, including CEO Jack Dorsey, following the permanent suspension of then-President Donald Trump.

Twitter previously suspended Project Veritas' account back in February for alleged violation of its policy against sharing private information.
