Twitter Suspends Former Project Veritas Insider and President of Free Speech Nonprofit: Ryan Hartwig used to work at Facebook until he decided to join Project Veritas and go undercover. Together Hartwig and Veritas shined a light on what many believe are biased business practices going on at Facebook. In a video on YouTube-alternative Rumble Hartwig said he had been suspended from Twitter, but wasn't entirely sure why. In an open letter about the incident published to The DC Patriot he wrote that it may have been "because he shared an affiliate link to PocketNet.App, a decentralized blockchain social media website." Hartwig said Twitter indicated his suspension was due to him violating the platform's rules against platform manipulation and spam. "It's just really ironic that they suspended the president of the Hartwig Foundation for free speech," said Hartwig in his video. "It just goes to show that Twitter and these companies have no respect — no honor." Hartwig is currently the president of the Hartwig Foundation for Free Speech.
