Note however he wasn't banned for libel. I've merely ammended my position to say thy could have banned him, but not for the reasons they've given.

He was banned for violating the terms of service. No reason for Twitter to claim he did something criminal in the process. (That could open the road to legal troubles for the company)

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:

He claims to have become gay and made comments to the tune of "I don't want to deal with women". While speculating on a person's sexuality is a hugely tasteless endeavour, Milo appears to have taken on a series of right-wing gay stereotypes as his "identity".

They way he talks to women, feels about women, believes about women, I think it's compatible with what many middle eastern men feel.

First, Milo seems to think that people will jump ship, and second, they're not the only social media platform out there.

^ I think this pretty much sums up how much of a horrible piece of shit Milo is.

Also, I find it quite hypocritical that he says that fat people should hate themselves because they are unhealthy yet he smokes himself and doesn't see that as a problem.

All interactions between the two.

Notice that she tweets at him vastly more than he at her, she also uses vulgarity and insults him more.

He only criticizes her work and her literacy, as well as calling her a caricature.

The decision to ban milo makes no sense when viewed in context.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.
