(Bloomberg) James OâKeefe, the right-wing provocateur whose group, Project Veritas, has come under fire for undercover sting operations against media organizations and liberal groups, sued Twitter Inc. for defamation for banning him from the internet platform.
OâKeefe sued Twitter Monday in state court in Westchester County, New York, where his group does business, claiming the social media company falsely banned him for operating fake accounts.
âAfter suspending Mr. OâKeefeâs personal Twitter account on April 15, Twitter, through an unnamed spokesperson, disseminated to media outlets the provably false statement that Mr. OâKeefe was âoperating fake [Twitter] accounts,ââ he said in a complaint, calling the statement âfalse and defamatory.â
