  1. Twitter is a business. So long as they act within the law, to say notrhing of their TOS, they are perfectly reasonable in not allowing douchebags like Milo to round up troll armies to go spew racist hate at a woman whose only crime was being in a movie they didn't like.

  2. Good riddance Milo - glad to see you go. Now if he can get banned from the entire internet, he can fade back to irrelevance.

  3. Milo's character is already wide open to assault. I look forwards to him trying to sue Twitter. They'll crush him like the boy he is.

  4. Ah the old "tolerate my intolerance or you're being intolerant" argument. Nice try.Free speech is not and never has been free. It has consequences. Milo is fine when the consequences are the unjustified persecution of this woman, but he wants to whine when the consequence is his ejection from a private business. Don't know what Twitter said about Milo, or if it was true. I'm just happy to see him shut up from that forum. I hope youtube and the other video sites follow suit.

  5. That's as may be. Personally, I think they should have simply said that they don't like the way he uses their platform to harass others, and for that reason he's banned. There is a certain implicit truth that he KNOWS that his sycophantic followers will take what he does and run with it, especially when he jumped into the fray o the back of some despicably racist and hatefully unwarranted attacks on the woman.

  6. Leslie defended herself AGAINST verbal assaults initiated by Milo - the two are not the same.
