(Reuters) – Twitter Inc (NYSE 🙂 said on Thursday it suspended the account of conservative activist group Project Veritas for repeated violations of its private information policy, which prohibits sharing or threatening to share private information of others without consent. The social media company also temporarily blocked the account of the group’s founder, James O’Keefe, for violating the same policy, a Twitter spokeswoman said in a statement. Project Veritas said in a public Telegram post that the Tweet that led to the suspension was a video of one of its journalists asking Facebook’s (NASDAQ 🙂 vice president of integrity, Guy Rosen, a question about censorship. https: // “The reporter on the ground never disclosed the location,” the group said, adding that it was appealing the suspension because privacy was not violated. Twitter said O’Keefe was required to delete the offending tweet to regain access to his personal account. He posted a video on Twitter of him doing that.
