Milo Yiannopoulos, controversial conservative commentator, was banned from Twitter recently. The above article implies it is related to his attacks on Ghost Busters actress, Leslie Jones.

What do you think NS? Righteous justice or repression of free speech.

Personally, I think its about time this hateful, bigoted person was banned, and hopefully other websites will follow.

In the words of the man, himself:

Heidisteinian Fempire wrote:"It’s clear that existing hate speech laws are inadequate for the social media era ... If people cannot be trusted to treat one another with respect, dignity and consideration, perhaps they deserve to have their online freedoms curtailed." - Milo Yiannopoulos, 2012

In before Twitter is an SJW Mouthpiece.

And here I thought the whole point of Twitter was to attack and abuse celebrities.

Remember, it's okay for a private business to enforce rules however it pleases.

Unless it's a conservative being reprimanded, then it's run by freedom-hating commie bastards.

It went against Twitter rules of conduct.

Oh gee, what horrible thing did he say?

by **Nariterrr** » Wed Jul 20, 2016 2:05 pm

I never liked him anyway, good thing he's off twitter.

It? Are you saying Milo is less than human?

Apparently it was due to a long history of provocation of abuse to certain Twitter users, most recently the lead (black) actress of Ghostbusters.

He should have been banned a long time ago.

Why does it matter that she's (black)? Or did he attack her race?

Oh man Verbal attacks, someone get me a damn pillow so i can cry on facebook.

Long overdue. Twitter was under no obligation to enable his harrassment of Leslie Jones, on top of everything else Yiannopoulos has done.

#FreeMilo, this is a repression of free-speech, Feminism has no place in Western society anymore.

Also if your so offended turn off your computer.

It's not? What else are 140 characters good for?

Tweets are generally referred to as "it" so I'm not sure how it's a comment on Milo.

Well, I obviously didn't follow him on Twitter, so I can't say for certain, although the reports would indicate it was normally based on bigoted reasons.

About feminism and liberal bias, he's pretty spot on.

But he suffers from the same problems the rest of Brietbart does. And I can't exactly criticize anything he does without his fans calling me an SJW.
