Twitter Permanently Bans Project Veritas Founder James O'Keefe
Source: Daily Beast
There is nothing temporary about his Thursday suspension from Twitter, however. The account you referenced (@JamesOKeefeIII) was permanently suspended for violating the Twitter Rules on platform manipulation and spam, a Twitter spokesperson told The Daily Beast.
