Project Veritas’ James O’Keefe files lawsuit against Twitter after permanent ban

James O’Keefe has filed a defamation lawsuit against Twitter after the Project Veritas founder was permanently banned from the platform.

Mr O’Keefe said Twitter had falsely accused him of operating “fake accounts” when it banned him from the platform for good last week.

“This defamation action arises from Twitter’s false and defamatory April 15, 2021, statement concerning Twitter’s decision to ban Plaintiff James O’Keefe, an investigative journalist followed by over 926,000 Twitter users as of the time he was banned,” the lawsuit said.

“Twitter’s false and defamatory claim was that it removed Mr O’Keefe because he ‘operated fake accounts’.”

The lawsuit said the false claim had caused Mr O’Keefe damage and it was “provably false” that Mr O’Keefe operated “fake” Twitter accounts.

Ahead of the ban, Mr O’Keefe had published Project Veritas recordings on his Twitter account of CNN Technical Director Charlie Chester, among other things, calling the network “propaganda”.

“I am 100 per cent going to say it. And I 100 per cent believe it that if it wasn't for CNN, I don't know that Trump would have got voted out,” Mr Chester said in one video.

I'm sorry that I can't help more but I've banned most "woke" things in my media and tech choices. YouTube is one of the last few.

The problem with banning people on social media is that were still here. It's not like we go to a deserted island.
