>> "He kicked popular libertarian Milo Y" I've only come to know of that guy since he was banned. I watched a few things he was in on YouTube. He's a proud, self-confessed troll. I'm surprised he wasn't banned sooner. Also, how are his political views related to the ban? I haven't seen anyway in which they are.

He is a gay conservative men's rights activist. He has a good time and is hilarious, but his primary purpose is certainly not trolling. What do you think he did that deserved a ban? Here is a 3 hour talk with Milo in which he brilliantly discusses and debate a huge range of issues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGL5eRw7rXU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGL5eRw7rXU This is not someone who deserves to be censored by Jack Dorsey.

  After he was banned I watched several hours of his interviews with, I think, Ruben Report. The only important takeaway relating to the Twitter ban I got was that he enjoys and actively pursues riling people up in an attempt to make his point. I will admit I even agreed with him on a few things (certainly not everything) but that doesn't matter. He was fostering a toxic atmosphere on Twitter and if the loss of a mainstream celebrity would have a bigger effect on their user numbers than the loss of him they made the right decision.

Milo is a minor media celebrity, but he's also a worthy intellectual in the political arena. He spends a lot of time sparring with ideologies he identifies as dangerous, and he succeeds in being a voice that people want to hear. He's smart, talks about politics and does it in an entertaining way. He's very good at drawing the line where you'll agree, disagree or chalk it off to trolling . He's a valuable voice that is already missed on twitter and he's likely to be part of a movement towards a competing platform that will steal a lot of eyes from twitter. Those at Twitter who care about its financial future need to realize that Jack partisan activism and deceit is becoming a liability. Unlike a Steve Jobs, Jack doesn't really bring much excitement to the platform.
