Twitter permanently bans Milo Yiannopoulos

The tech editor of Breitbart has been banned just a day after he seemed to incite followers to direct a torrent of racial abuse towards Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones. The actress and comedian retweeted some of the tweets she received to expose the abuse that was directed her way.

Jones reported Milo Yiannopoulis to Twitter and the site permanently banned him. Twitter has said that he will be kept off the service for good, telling Recode and BuzzFeed that it would find any new account he creates in the future and suspend it too.
