Project Veritas is entirely devoted to spreading lies. They can do that on their own website. Twitter doesn't have to be an accessory to their subversive messaging that's convincing millions of people that criminals like Twittler are somehow representating the 99%, when the opposite if obvious to the rest of the world. Why care about companies like Project Veritas. They're cancer.

You mean the lies of people they get on video!? I don't really like how O'Keefe editorializes too much, but he does show basically what amount to confessions on tape.

Honestly Project Veritas wouldn't be what it is without the video evidence—hence I think YouTube is actually their Achilles' heel.

I appreciate your point, but the problem at Twitter has been that the video information used by Veritas has been edited and manipulated in order to fit a right wing lie that Republicans care about the 99% and are actively trying to help, but for the nasty, corrupt Democrats. There are of course bad Democrats that should be voted out of office, but the general focus of the party is to help the 99%, whereas the general focus of the Republican party has been socialism for the 1%, since the time of the Reagan administration.

since the time of the Reagan administration

Not far back enough. The GOP's origins were as a lobby for northern banking and industrial interests.

I am not referring to all Republicans.

if twitter and facebook were censoring topics because one is true and the other is not, why is flat earth agenda allowed to be spread on both facebook and twitter?

answer: because it isnt about censoring lies, it is about silencing opposing political views.

Good point - but there are numerous conspiracies on these sites, including especially anti-vax disinformation. Indeed, conspiracies aren't the problem. Inciting violence and promoting hatred are the problem. There is also the problem of referring to COVID19 as a hoax whilst we're in the midst of trying to reduce the spread of COVID19, which might be a potential addendum to the racism, hatred, calls to violence. Where you could be right is that some of this is also political, but nearly everything was politicised under Twittler reign. It became for some in the US a political statement to wear a mask or not wear a mask. It's idiotic. The main problem is wanting to organize a killing spree against politicians and peaceful protestors. Private companies like Twitter and Facebook should not support these paramilitary American Taliban gravy seals. Fuck 'em.

Covid-19 is one of the biggest hoaxes in modern times.

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

I suppose it doesn't doesn't match the mellifluence of 'they can to that on their own website'.

How are videos of people admitting their own crimes lies?

When fit into a misleading narrative...
