Project Veritas' new video has reportedly been censored on YouTube for "bullying and harassment," conservative commentator Mark Dice tweeted Thursday evening.
Dice reveals a double standard held by YouTube for censoring a video of journalist confronting a Facebook official, while continuing to allow a video of CNN reporters harassing Trump supporters on their platform.
"YouTube just censored Project Vertitas' new video confronting a Facebook executive about censorship. "Bullying & harassment" they say," his tweet says.
"But CNN showed up unannounced to this grandma's home cuz she supported Trump on Facebook. Her address is visible in the segment. Still on YouTube," his tweet continues.

A video on the CNN YouTube channel titled, "Some Americans unwittingly helped Russian trolls," depicts a Trump supporting older woman in front of her house being confronted and argued with by a CNN reporter over whether she was influenced by online Russian trolls.
The censored Project Veritas video depicts a similar scene of a reporter confronting the VP of Integrity at Facebook, Guy Rosen, at his home to ask what he meant when he spoke about "freezing comments" containing "hate speech" on the platform in a leaked Facebook conference call.
"Project Veritas recently approached Facebook’s Vice President of Integrity, Guy Rosen, to ask him some questions about what he said in a leaked internal Facebook meeting," Project Veritas' website explains of the recorded confrontation.
Rosen can be heard saying in the leaked conference call footage, "We have a system that is able to freeze commenting on threads in cases where our systems are detecting that there may be a thread that has hate speech or violence...these are all things we've built over the past three-four years as part of our investments into the integrity space our efforts to protect the election."
Both instances of confrontations with reporters are strikingly similar in substance, yet YouTube is electing to censor one of the videos and not the other.
