Metaโ€™s Facebook and Instagram platforms have threatened to restrict or ban Project Veritas after a journalist approached a senior YouTube official about the removal of a video about Pfizerโ€™s COVID-19 vaccines.

On Feb. 3, the nonprofit journalism organization Project Veritas published footage that appears to show one of its reporters questioning YouTubeโ€™s vice president of global trust and safety, Matt Halprin.

The video shows the reporter asking Halprin in public about YouTubeโ€™s removal of a video featuring a senior Pfizer official, unaware he was being recorded, discussing how the company is considering mutating the COVID-19 virus to develop new vaccines proactively.

Halprin refused to answer the reporterโ€™s inquiries and instead told the reporter not to touch him while also threatening to call the police, before walking away.

โ€œYouTube took down our Pfizer exposรฉ. YouTube gave us a strike and will not let us post for a week,โ€ James Oโ€™Keefe, head of Project Veritas, said in a video.

Facebook and Instagram warned Project Veritas that its video of Halprin violates โ€œCommunity Standards.โ€

โ€œWe have these standards because we want everyone to feel safe, respected, and welcome,โ€ the warning said. โ€œIf your content goes against our Community Standards again, your account may be restricted or disabled.โ€

Project Veritas also announced on Feb. 3 that it had been โ€œwrongfully locked outโ€ of its Twitter account for two hours over a post that featured the video of one of its journalists questioning Halprin. The organization said it received a warning from Twitter that the post was โ€œabuse and harassment.โ€

Twitter later apologized for the move, calling it an โ€œerror,โ€ according to aย screenshotย shared by Oโ€™Keefe.

Halprin Video

Halprin appeared to be out for a walk or run on a suburban street when he was confronted by Project Veritas journalist Christian Hartsock.

When Hartsock introduced himself as a reporter from Project Veritas, Halprin immediately seemed to recognize the organization and quickly walked away.
