Video hosting platform Vimeo - whose CEO contributed to the 2016 Clinton campaign - has completely banned Project Veritas over a viral video of a surreptitiously recorded Google employee admitting that the search giant is training its algorithms to to avoid the "next Trump situation," raising questions of 2020 election meddling.

The Google employee, Jen Gennai, claims that she was referring to election meddling in terms of preventing another "Trump situation," however the Department of Justice is on record saying that Russian attempts to influence the 2016 US election did not alter the outcome.

On Wednesday, Veritas tweeted a list of big tech companies and their responses to various exposés, asking "DO THINK BIG TECH IS WORKING TOGETHER?"

Meanwhile, for content creators worried about YouTube or Vimeo arbitrarily demonetizing or otherwise deplatforming them, check out BitChute, which has created a method to automatically transfer YouTube videos to the platform.

Comment: Bitchute is still brave enough to carry the Project Veritas video:

More from RT:

Vimeo had deleted the account of right-wing media transparency group Project Veritas just days after they published reports accusing Google of bias against conservatives and President Donald Trump.

The group's founder, James O'Keefe, pointed out that the incident with Vimeo happened several days after YouTube took down a video of their latest investigation, in which YouTube's owner, Google, was accused of harboring bias against conservatives and President Trump.

They keep citing 'privacy violations.' Being embarrassed by legitimate investigative journalism is not a 'privacy violation.'

Project Veritas is known for releasing internal documents and undercover videos they say expose liberal, left-wing bias in the media and tech companies.

Earlier this week, the group shared a video in which a senior Google executive talked about the company's prospects of "preventing the next Trump situation." The group also leaked an email which allegedly shows that a member of Google's transparency and ethics team referred to well-known conservative pundits as "Nazis."
