Milo Suspended Permanently by Twitter Minutes Before ‘Gays For Trump’ Party At RNC
Breitbart ^ | 19 Jul 2016 | Ben Kew

Posted on 07/19/2016 8:37:11 PM PDT by Right Wing Assault

Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos has been suspended from Twitter once more just 20 minutes before his “Gays for Trump” event takes place at the Republican National Convention.

The justification for the suspension is currently unknown, although it could be as a result of Milo’s run-in with Ghostbusters actress Leslie Jones on the site. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey publicly reached out to Jones late on Monday evening following her complaints of “abuse” on the platform.

BuzzFeed are reporting that the suspension is permanent, citing a statement from Twitter promising a clampdown on “targeted abuse.” Milo has also received a message from Twitter confirming that that his ban is permanent, copied below.

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.”

With all due respect, he has been more effective for the right than most of the do nothing blowhards that many people here have made rich.

Creep? Are you that clueless?

Just read her timeline from the beginning of the day it happened and that’s not what went down...

People started posting twitter pics of things she had supposedly tweeted...

Turns out, the pics were fake... they had made the fake tweets on http://www.lemmetweetthatforyou.com/

She was rather upset at that point... thought someone had hacked her twitter account and had actually posted those tweets as her...

She was clueless had no idea what was going on... that’s why she thought she’d been hacked...

It was a pretty sad state of affairs all around...

I’m of mixed mind on Milo. Great on islam, no doubt. But he has the filthiest mouth (typical gay) and on FB is constantly urging people to humiliate fat people. He takes pictures of fat women and posts them with disgusting remarks. He really doesn’t like girls in that gay way that creeps me out.

If he cleaned up his act, he could have spoken at the Republican convention. But Milo’s got to be Milo, I guess. I think he’s very young and somewhat immature.

I’m not positive that it still goes on today but Twitter used to allow Drug Cartels and Mexican gang members to tweet when someone was executed or post photos glorifying themselves.

“Ailes may be fired, and there are rumors that he will start his own network”

Roger Ailes meet Glenn Beck.
The Baxter will go with Ailes.
Baxter and Beck are friends.
That would be one crazy network.

You got a point. How is Twitter any different from any other private blog site ( FR included ) that bans people?

It isn’t beholden hence the bans. However, the basis of Twitter is discourse, and rather than promote discourse it has travelled the inevitable libtards road where free speech means their speech only. It’s a terrific medium but now becomes useless like an email list among planned parenthood members only. Sad.

No... some trolls screen shot her account and retweeted with tweets she didn’t write, and then accused her of deleting the offensive tweets, since they never existed in the first place. There was also a non-verified account with her name that was tweeting other nonsense. Leslie had no idea of what was happening, or understood what being trolled was and reacted to the tweets.

Milo piled on... it was stupid on his part, as it did nothing to advance his cause. But that’s been his MO, he jumped on this wagon when he saw it gaining steam and wanted to be a part of the “fun.”

The trolls went too far, probably because the actress kept reacting via twitter.

ANTI-TRUST Twitter

Allow Twitter 2 and Twitter 3

Who keeps assigning a monopoly over public usage eg message space of internet protocol? Twitter doesn’t own it.

Politicians are worthless and ignorant.

The cellphone message space, you own it on your smartphone not Twitter. Where do CEOs get off censoring what you own.

I don’t have a Twitter account and have no interest in getting one, but how is a private corporation beholden to users who (to my knowledge) don’t even pay a fee?

From a public policy point of view because they take advantage of legal protection offered to internet businesses that act as a form of public utility to shield themselves from the liability that they would otherwise have for publishing the material they do.

Why is Milo not a conservative? Because he’s gay?

He doesn’t make fun of fat girls. He makes fun of fat girls demanding they be included in everything and considered sexy because they are fat.

He’s old enough to know better. While I enjoy his banter and he makes very cogent points at times, self-destruction has been his mainstay since effectively destroying his online newspaper in Britain and then going after employees he failed to pay publicly. Some of his business ventures have been a bit on the shady side to say the least. The fat shaming, is personal... uhm, he has a tummy and like a girl deflects and then projects.
Back in January, He did a late night video with Sargon, and in it he stated while he was a Trump fan, his career would benefit from Hillary winning. Is he a little fraudy? Not sure,but definitely a narcissist. That’s also where he announced his White Privilege Grant, which collected funds but we’ve yet to hear of any student receiving the funds.
