# Latest O'Keefe Video Exposes How Creepy Twitter Really Is: "They're Paid To Look At Your Dick Pics"

Last week, Project Veritas and James O'Keefe dropped the first two parts of their new undercover series which exposed rampant political bias and generally creepy behavior at Twitter. We covered both of them here:

> O'Keefe Strikes Again: Twitter Engineer Admits Willingness To Share Trump DMs Without A Warrant

> Project Veritas Exposes Twitter "Shadow Banning", Blocking Opposing Views

Now, earlier this morning, O'Keefe dropped part 3 of the series which takes the Twitter creepiness to a whole new level. Among other things, four Twitter engineers openly talk about a team of 300-400 people working at Twitter whose sole role is to review your "private" direct messages to create a more complete profile of your personal interests which can be sold to advertisers.

Per the exchange below, Clay Haynes, who was featured in part one of the Twitter exposé, admitted in a January 6, 2018 meeting that Twitter has hired hundreds employees with the express purpose of looking at these “d*ck pics,” stating:

> “There’s teams dedicated to it. I mean, we’re talking, we’re talking three or four… at least, three or four hundred people… Yes, they’re paid to look at d*ck pics.”

> “I’ve seen way more penises than I’ve ever wanted to see in my life.”

> “That’s, yeah… You know, actually… This sounds horrible, but I’m actually glad and fortunate it’s just dicks, it’s just blow job pictures, it’s just that type of stuff.”

Meanwhile, Pranay Singh, a Direct Messaging Engineer for Twitter corroborated Haynes claims and even joked about using someone's private messages for blackmail purposes:

> “Everything you send is stored on my server… So all your sex messages and you, like, d*ck pics are on my server now…”

> “All your illegitimate wives and, like, all the girls you’ve been f*cking around with, they’re are on my server now… I’m going to send it to your wife, she’s going use it in your divorce.”

> “So, what happens is like, you like, write something or post pictures on line, they never go away… Because even after you send them, people are like analyzing them, to see what you are interested in, to see what you are talking about. And they sell that data.”

> BREAKING: HUNDREDS of Twitter Employees Paid to View "Everything You Post Online" Including Private "Sex Messages"
> FULL VIDEO: https://t.co/73Ub3LjjU2 pic.twitter.com/YZaS9GrJTv

> — James O'Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII) January 15, 2018

So, just how intrusive is Twitter? Singh continues...

> Twitter Engineer: "So what happens is, like, when you, like, write stuff of when you post pictures online, they never go away. Like, they're always on there."

> "Even after you send them, people are analyzing them, to see what you're interested in, to see what you're talking about, and they sell that data."

> PV Journalist: "They sell it to who, like advertisers?"

> Twitter Engineer: "Advertisers..."

> PV Journalist: "Wait, you're talking about just regular tweets or the DMs? Or both?"

> Twitter Engineer: "Everything. Anything you post online..."

> PV Journalist: "Wow. So even what you think is private, direct message..."

> Twitter Engineer: "Yeah, it's all analyzed."

Finally, perhaps no one summarizes this Project Veritas series better than one of Twitter's own engineers: "It is a creepy Big Brother. It’s like a level… I don’t want to say it freaks me out, but it disturbs me."

"We aren't as creepy as Facebook or Google, but we know some stuff..."

Just imagine how creepy Fakebook and Google are...

What's equally disturbing however, is the typical ZH-user's attitude towards "no regulation," "freedom of enterprise" and let the market sort it out."

As you can hear from 4:25 in the video, you don't even have to have a Twitter account but they still harvest data from you. The same goes for the Youtube that anyone has clicked in order to watch James O'Keefe's latest video.

This is what you get when you don't regulate anything...

Ever heard of the SEC? EPA? CFTC? They are some regulating motherfuckers cept'n they don't have any "or else" In other words you are full of shit. The only reason these folks are not regulated is because they are doing government work buzzy. The federal government is the biggest polluter on the planet bar none, do you see any regulating going on? That's right, government and their proxy are not regulated, hence Facebook, Google, et al.

Fascism is the state (the people) determining the operations of the corporations. What we have is hyper-Capitalism where the moneyed interests determine everything.

Not that it matters, as most of you wouldn't be charge of anything anyways.

The plus side of all of this surveillance is that these files are permanent, as in they can not be destroyed completely once they are created. Which means there's a trail of evidence for criminal acts that the NSA is holding onto somewhere. If you're aware of how to use the FOIA and the dates and locations of said incidents, you can easily retrieve the evidence and put the perpetrators in prison for a very long time.

The cops love hearing that, because asset forfeiture, and if you're one of the victims of this sort of bullying, odds are that you're not the one with all of the assets to be seized.

Checkmate faggots, gotcha.

Jesus, I thought "like" was almost dead as an "uhm".

My peeve is "No" before agreeing with what has been said.

If you listen for it be cautious as one may begin reaching for their own hair removal or a weapon.

The prevalence of negating what has been said, is massive, insulting, and retarded.

Parallel to this, the same individuals includes "Y'know" a multitude of times within

sentences y'know, preface to y'know, and y'know y'know right?

I do not hesitate to say sharply, "If I already know what you are saying, stop speaking."

Other social media would include the Hedge, right? Lots of third part websites, including Google and FB, get beacons when you visit a Hedge page. Including the comment page, at least for Google. How hard is it for Google to figure out which posts you made?

People already noted 10 years ago there's no privacy on the internet. Anyone who thought their Twitter DMs, or their ZH/Infowars/Unz posts (all of which send beacons to Google), are private are idiots.

One day he plans on tracking down the most insolent and gripey of us and giving us all a big fat ‘thank you’ bonus check for sending his traffic through the roof.

The rest of the data he figures on selling to Russian hackers and to the marketers of Viagra.
