In case you hadn’t heard, the official Twitter account of Project Veritas has been permanently suspended, and the account of James O’Keefe was temporarily locked reportedly for violating Twitter’s private information policy.

This is ridiculous. Much of journalism, especially investigative journalism, involves presenting information without "permission." Did the @nytimes have "permission" to write about Trump's tax returns? https://t.co/lA14lhrWVp – @washtimes

The Washington Examiner reports that Twitter’s actions were prompted by a video of Facebook Vice President of Integrity Guy Rosen being confronted by a Project Veritas reporter.
“Our reporter on the ground questioning Facebook VP of Integrity Guy Rosen never revealed the location he is at, nor were any street signs ever visible. Twitter is essentially saying we are to believe that a random number, on a random house, in a random location, is revealing ‘private information.’ Absurd. We have appealed this and are eagerly awaiting Twitter’s response,” [Project Veritas chief of staff] Spracklen added earlier Thursday.
Twitter's private information policy apparently doesn't apply to New York Times employees tweeting out journalist phone numbers. https://t.co/MTx6hA0oVq

That’s right; as Twitchy reported, 1619 Project creator Nikole Hannah-Jones tweeted out a Washington Free Beacon reporter’s information, including his cell phone number, after he contacted her for comment on a story about the New York Times and its zero-tolerance policy on racial slurs. It’s OK though; the Times is cool with it:
NY Times defends '1619 Project' creator after she doxxed another reporter https://t.co/2ooMmwZtJv pic.twitter.com/mWtWFhBg6Y

The New York Post reports:
Nikole Hannah-Jones, 44, tweeted out Washington Free Beacon reporter Aaron Sibarium’s cell number after he asked her about old tweets where she spelled out the N-word amid uproar over the ouster of a veteran Times colleague getting fired for once using the word.
Sibarium said the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist kept his number online for 71 hours before deleting it — with a jokey exchange with another reporter suggesting she was aware it was up.
…
A spokeswoman for the Gray Lady defended Hannah-Jones, claiming to the Free Beacon that she had “inadvertently posted Aaron’s number when she tweeted an email she received from him.”
Oh, she “inadvertently” posted it. And then went back and scrubbed her timeline.
If you’re ever curious why the NYT keeps defending her and it seems she rules the roost, the paper has put a ton of money in the 1619 project and is using it to bill subscriptions. It isn’t about being woke – it’s about money.

You either believe Bari Weiss or this doxxer. I guarantee Bari was correct.

Don't you get it? The Radical Left can do whatever they want.
You on the other hand might be lucky to choose what re-education camp they ship you off to in a few years.

Remember when Sen. Mike Lee stumped the CEOs of Facebook and Twitter by asking them for the name of just one high-profile liberal censored by their platforms?
