Talk about your major backfire. Twitter sought to “punish” Breitbart Tech Editor Milo Yiannopoulos and ended up with a Hydra situation on their hands. The “punishment” of the gay conservative—who often revels in driving social justice warriors, especially feminists, up a wall with his machine-gun-style spewing of facts and resented, undeniable charm—resulted in 20,000-plus new Twitter followers.
The Gamer-Gate figure-head was first targeted in December when he jokingly announced to the world via Twitter that he was now Buzzfeed’s new “Social Justice Editor.” Twitter suspended his account for only a matter of minutes before the onslaught of his dedicated fans rallied around their leader with their “Free Nero” (Yiannopoulos’ Twitter handle is Nero) demands.
