Project Veritas was blocked on Twitter on Thursday after they posted a video of a confrontation between an investigative journalist and Facebook VP of Integrity Guy Rosen.
Veritas journalist Christian Hartsock approached Rosen outside of his home where he asked him about recent comments Rosen made during a Facebook internal meeting about the tech giant’s Orwellian capability to choke off content with the aim of securing certain electoral outcomes.
“We have a system that is able to freeze commenting on threads in cases where our systems are detecting that there may be a thread that has hate speech or violence…these are all things we’ve built over the past three-four years as part of our investments into the integrity space our efforts to protect the election,” Rosen said in the leaked video.
After being approached by the Veritas journalist, Rosen looked alarmed and quickly walked inside of his home.
“How do you define hate speech? Is it just speech that you hate? Are you freezing your own comments now?” Hartsock asked Rosen outside of his home. Rosen refused to respond to the questions.
“The VP of Integrity at Facebook showing how much integrity he really has,” Hartsock added to conclude the video.
