  Project Veritas, which has railed against “fake news,” set up a fake startup, created false identities and pretended to give jobs to real tech workers in hopes of exposing bias. http://gizmodo.com/...

  Imagine you left a job for a new one that turned out to be bogus, and then your interview videos, taken without consent, appeared, or that you went on a date with someone who recorded you over drinks and published it without consent, and you get the idea. http://twitter.com/...

  Can we talk about how James O'Keefe and his team pretended to be SF locals by taking a Twitter guy to Morton's in Union Square http://twitter.com/...

  Remember when Peter Thiel gave James O'Keefe and Project Veritas $10,000? http://gizmodo.com/...

  when you're a former Twitter worker and Project Veritas is trying to trick you into saying things (while recording illegally), they will— pretend to date you— pretend to hire you— even rent some WeWork space as a fake startup(great @kashhillstory) http://gizmodo.com/...

  tech workers need better op-sec, and to realize they're considered fair game. excellent investigation by @kashhill http://gizmodo.com/... same problem as Vox Day and Google

  It's amazing that even though Project Veritas is willing to act in such wildly unethical and maybe illegal ways, its results are still so comically weak: https://gizmodo.com/...

  And Project Veritas says it's still active in Silicon Valley. So if you work at Google or Facebook, and you haven't slept with the person you met on Tinder yet, watch out. http://gizmodo.com/...

  Conservatives are doing bizarre pseudo-spy routines, including things like setting up fake job interviews to pump people for information about their employer, as part of an influence campaign on silicon valley companies. https://gizmodo.com/...

  A belated FYI for Project Veritas: “California makes it a crime to record or eavesdrop on any confidential communication, including a private conversation or telephone call, without the consent of all parties to the conversation. Cal. Penal Code § 632” https://gizmodo.com/...

  “We have an untold amount of people inside organizations and they don't know that. We are going from the smash-and-grab to the long con.” this will never be ok. ever. https://gizmodo.com/...

  Can't wait to see how Facebook will justify keeping Peter Thiel on its board of directors while the scam artists he funds at Project Veritas try to illegally entrap tech company employees. https://gizmodo.com/...

• @kashhill Kashmir Hill on x

  It involved fake dates, fake jobs, and a fake business operated out of a WeWork blocks from Twitter's headquarters.

  i would like to see what a judge thinks about project veritas' interpretation of laws about recording people without their permission http://gizmodo.com/...

  In January, Project Veritas published a bunch of videos featuring Twitter employees on hidden cameras and I wondered how they talked to so many of them.
