I won’t even try to spell his last name from memory. The Breitbart reporter, who is known for two things, mainly: his support for Trump and the fact that he’s gay, has been permanently banned from the dark overlords at Twitter.
This all happened after he had a little back and forth with the very unfunny star of the horrible new Ghostbusters movie.
Here she is.
During his heated debate with Lesdoggg, the CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, took the time out of his day, away from destroying shareholder value, to ask her to DM him.
Shortly thereafter, Milo was banned.
In a comment, Milo said “With the cowardly suspension of my account, Twitter has confirmed itself as a safe space for Muslim terrorists and Black Lives Matter extremists, but a no-go zone for conservatives.”
“Twitter is holding me responsible for the actions of fans and trolls using the special pretzel logic of the left. Where are the Twitter police when Justin Bieber’s fans cut themselves on his behalf?”
“Like all acts of the totalitarian regressive left, this will blow up in their faces, netting me more adoring fans. We’re winning the culture war, and Twitter just shot themselves in the foot.”
“This is the end for Twitter. Anyone who cares about free speech has been sent a clear message: you’re not welcome on Twitter.”
Technically, Twitter and Facebook can ban and censor whoever they like, I suppose. They are, however, a public companies beholden to its shareholders, which includes conservatives too. It’s worth noting, all of our prominent, beloved, social media darlings eagerly cooperate with governments to suppress free speech and to monitor the comments of dissidents. That being said, it’s important that investors know that a company like Twitter, with a dreadful balance sheet, to go along with its garish stock price performance, is actively using their platform for political purposes.

Must be trying to impress China to get more business. I’m sure it pleases them very much. Bravo TWTR!
I like the way you think.
Morons on the Left have been taught to respond to this sort of stuff with the following:
“But it a PRIVAET company and 1st Amendment just means you can’t be arrested for saying stuff it doesn’t mean that we have to listen and can do it when ever. PRIVAET company can refues service whenever they wanaa.”
Idiots, clearly.
1) So Twitter is cool with being The Go To Social Network for ISIS, but not for loudmouth gay conservatives that buck the norm?
2) Why is it that a private company can refuse someone service based on their beliefs but a private company cannot refuse someone service for, say, their race or sexual orientation?
It’s the same “But it a PRIVAET company” logic.
Is it because you can change your beliefs but not your race or sexuality? And does that mean that Twitter is explicitly calling for conservatives to change their beliefs? That’s the obvious takeaway here. All you have to do is say you feel scared – like a fucking child.
Listened to his podcast with Joe Rogan. Don’t agree with everything he said, but he seems very intelligent.
He is… he’s antagonistic and understands how to push other people’s buttons, but he’s smart and makes good points. The Left absolutely hates him because he destroys their narratives simply by existing, let alone being able to lucidly communicate things that should be obvious.
So because she’s black she’s allowed to make a comment about “white people”. If milo had commented on her race, the Internet would have come to a screeching halt. So sick of the double standard. The coloreds are off the reservation. And yes I can say that because of the NAACP.
that is not PC … ban @banjoman from $TWTR & $FB, in fact all of social media altogether!
aside from iBankCoin, natch 😉
How can you not like a gay guy (not that there’s anything wrong with that) for Trump who refers to the next el Prezidente as Daddy and his airplane — Daddy Force One !? 😀
I tend to agree that Twitter is on very dangerous ground picking and choosing which controversial viewpoints they support and which they censor. I think it will quickly devolve into another liberal news channel where only one viewpoint is allowed, and where pretty soon it will just be an echo chamber for the social justice warriors to do their infighting since there will be no one left to band together against.
And another social platform will take their place, all they have to do is say hey, all viewpoints welcome here, we won’t censor you like Facebook and Twitter do. For the same reason people have been getting their news from Twitter and Facebook rather than mainstream media, they will leave Twitter and Facebook for another platform that is more free and open. Twitter and Facebook will become the kiddie pool of social media.
I’d argue that Snapchat has already become the 3rd platform and one of the reasons that many people prefer it is that people can’t shit all over your posts like Instagram and FB.
Ok I’m left. I guess. It’s hard to figure out these days. Is there a “Common Sense” party?
I don’t agree with Twitter here. And I definitely don’t agree with the Right most of the time, though I like guns. And freedom. And really big soft drinks.
Can I just be a non-radical, freedom loving, compassionate asshole? Is that a choice?
The only thing the right really shits on is women’s health. If you are a man, there is no reason not to vote Republican in this election.
Come on. He wasn’t banned because he’s a conservative. Why do wingnuts filter everything through a political screen? Care to answer that FLY?
Do you support this hideous racist actress and her comments? She is disgusting, so please tell us why the CEO banned Milo and not this trash mouth cunt?
Time for the classic:
– First they came for Milo and I did not care because I never heard of the guy,
– Then they came for Fly and I did not care because I just did not like his style,
– Then they came for me and there was no one left to follow my tweets.
