Twitter has banned one of its most notoriously contentious voices. On Tuesday evening, the microblogging service permanently suspended the account of conservative commentator Milo Yiannopoulos, a day after he incited his followers to bombard Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones with racist and demeaning tweets.

“People should be able to express diverse opinions and beliefs on Twitter,” a company spokesperson said in a statement. “But no one deserves to be subjected to targeted abuse online, and our rules prohibit inciting or engaging in the targeted abuse or harassment of others.”

Yiannopoulos, who currently serves as Breitbart’s tech editor, has been hailed as a voice of the new “alt-right” movement. As such, he has made a living as a provocateur, continually inflaming tensions, focused on identity politics and the fervently anti-PC segment that constantly trolls.

For years, Yiannopoulous has used Twitter not only to voice his controversial opinions, but to direct his followers toward his opponents. As a result, he’s been temporarily banned from Twitter a number of times for violating its terms of service and stripped of his verified status.

But this week he went too far. Yiannopoulos led the harassment campaign against Ghostbusters actor Leslie Jones with a barrage of tweets, which decried Jones for being black and a woman.

Yiannopoulos’s permanent suspension isn’t a matter of speech as much as a matter of behavior — specifically, a violation of Twitter’s rules regarding the targeted abuse of specific users.

Yiannopoulos responded via his employer’s site, Breitbart.com, calling Twitter’s permanent suspension “cowardly”:

“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."

I applaud them

Why am I not surprised he is employed by Breitbart. lol
 
People in the alt-right aren't human beings, and shouldn't be treated as such. Constitutional rights, such as freedom of speech, only apply to people, something that racists aren't.

racists normally cant stand people of the color they are supposed to hate. Milo has a black boyfriend.
 
THere is a double standard. Milo is conservative so he gets banned. But BLM can use twitter and call for LE deaths, and that's perfectly fine.

What a wackjob hack social media site. Fuck them.
