Milo Yiannopoulos (/jəˈnɒpʊləs/,[1] Greek: Μίλων Γιαννόπουλος, romanized: Mílon Giannópoulos; born 18 October 1983)[2] is a Greek-British journalist, entrepreneur and technology editor for Breitbart News, a conservative news and opinion website based in the United States. He has previously written under the pseudonym Milo Andreas Wagner.[3][4]

Yiannopoulos founded The Kernel, an online tabloid magazine about technology, which he sold to Daily Dot Media in 2014. He rose to notability that year when he began to provide media coverage and commentary surrounding the Gamergate controversy. As a homosexual, "cultural libertarian",[5] and "free speech fundamentalist", he is a vocal critic of feminism,[6] Islam, social justice, atheism, political correctness, and other movements and ideologies he perceives to be authoritarian or belonging to the 'regressive left'. Yiannopoulos has been called a spokesperson for the alt-right.[7] He considers himself a reporter of and sympathizer with the movement.[8]

Early life

Yiannopoulos was born in Greece and raised in the United Kingdom.[9] He attended the University of Manchester, dropping out without graduating.[10] He then attended Wolfson College, Cambridge where he studied English literature for two years before dropping out.[11][4] Regarding dropping out of university, in a 2012 interview he said "I try to tell myself I'm in good company, but ultimately it doesn't say great things about you unless you go on to terrific success in your own right."[11]

Career

Yiannopoulos originally intended to write theatre criticism, but became interested in technology journalism whilst investigating women in computing for The Daily Telegraph in 2009.[6] He also appeared on Sky News discussing social media,[12] and on BBC Breakfast discussing Pope Benedict XVI's visit to the United Kingdom.[13]

As a gay Catholic,[14] Yiannopoulos has debated gay marriage on Newsnight,[15] and on Channel 4's 10 O'Clock Live with Boy George.[16] He later debated with singer Will Young on Newsnight about the use of the word "gay" in the playground and Tinchy Stryder on the same programme in May 2014, about copyright infringement and music piracy.[citation needed] In March 2015 he appeared on The Big Questions, discussing topics relating to feminism and discrimination against men in the United Kingdom.[17]

The Telegraph Tech Start-Up 100

Yiannopoulos organized a method of ranking the most promising technology start-ups in Europe, The Telegraph Tech Start-Up 100, in 2011. It operated through an events company called Wrong Agency, started by Yiannopoulos and David Rosenberg, his friend from Cambridge University. The company was dissolved shortly after the ceremony that awarded the top start-up.[4] Mike Butcher of TechCrunch said the main prize had been given to music streaming service Spotify, even though his casting vote had gone to the controversial payday loan company Wonga, because the Telegraph considered Wonga's reputation objectionable. Butcher wrote that Yiannopoulos "was put in an incredibly invidious position [because] the legitimacy of the methodology behind the judging process ... was sat on, unceremoniously. I don't think he should take the blame for this at all. He could only do what he could do under the circumstances given [the] overt pressure from his backer. I reached out to him about all this but he's declined to comment—perhaps understandably."[18]

The Kernel

Together with university friends David Rosenberg and David Haywood Smith, journalist Stephen Pritchard and former Telegraph employee Adrian McShane, Yiannopoulos launched The Kernel in November 2011 to "fix European technology journalism."[19] The Kernel was at that time owned by Sentinel Media.

In 2012, the online magazine became embroiled in a legal dispute with one of its contributors after he said it failed to pay money owed to him.[4] The Kernel closed in March 2013, with thousands of pounds owed to former contributor Jason Hesse when he won a summary judgement from an employment tribunal against parent company Sentinel Media. Margot Huysman, whom Yiannopoulos had appointed associate editor and was one of the people seeking payment, said that many working for the site had been "screwed over" personally and financially.[20] Yiannopoulos also threatened, via email, to release embarrassing details and photographs of a Kernel contributor who sought payment for their work for the site and he also accused the contributor of being behind the "majority of damage to The Kernel". The unnamed contributor told the Guardian that the emails had been referred to the police.[21]

German venture capital vehicle BERLIN42 acquired The Kernel's assets in early 2013. The website displayed plans for a relaunch in August 2013 with fresh investment and Yiannopoulos reinstated as editor-in-chief.[22] BERLIN42 founding partner Aydogan Ali Schosswald would join its newly formed publishing company, Kernel Media, as chief executive. Yiannopoulos personally paid six former contributors money that the defunct company was unable to pay.[22]

The Independent on Sunday reported that the relaunched publication, based between London and Berlin, would focus on "modern warfare, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, pornography and space travel" from August, but newsletter The Nutshell would not return.[23] In 2014, The Kernel was acquired by the parent company of The Daily Dot, Daily Dot Media. After the acquisition by Daily Dot Media, Yiannopoulos stepped down as Editor-in-Chief though he remained an advisor to the company.[24]

Gamergate

Yiannopoulos was responsible for early news coverage of the Gamergate controversy, criticising what he saw as the politicization of video game culture by "an army of sociopathic feminist programmers and campaigners, abetted by achingly politically correct American tech bloggers."[25][26][27] In December 2014, he announced he was working on a book about Gamergate.[28]

As part of his coverage of Gamergate, he published correspondence from GameJournoPros, a private mailing list used by video game journalists to discuss industry related topics.[29][30] Yiannopoulos said that the list was evidence that journalists were colluding to offer negative coverage of Gamergate. [31] Kyle Orland, the creator of the list, responded to the leak on Ars Technica. Orland disputed the claim that the list suggested collusion among journalists, but said that he had written a message saying several things that he "soon came to regret". [32] Carter Dotson of pocketgamer.biz said that the list was indicative of an echo chamber effect in the gaming press.[33]

Ryan Cooper of The Week argued that Yiannopoulos "had little but sneering contempt for gamers" beforehand, highlighting Yiannopoulos' comments describing gamers as "pungent beta male bollock-scratchers and twelve-year-olds" and "a bit sad".[34][35]

During the controversy, Yiannopoulos said that he received a syringe filled with an unknown substance through the post,[36][37] as well as a dead animal.

In May 2015, a meetup in Washington D.C. for supporters of Gamergate arranged by Yiannopoulos and Christina Hoff Sommers was targeted by a bomb threat made over Twitter, according to the local police responding to information supplied by the FBI.[38] Similarly, three months later, an event with Society of Professional Journalists in August 2015 was also targeted by bomb threats, forcing the evacuation of an event with Yiannopoulos and Sommers.[39][40][41][42]

Breitbart Tech

In October 2015, the Breitbart News Network placed Yiannopoulos in charge of its new "Breitbart Tech" section, which he said will "be free speech central—and we'll talk about stuff people really care about: Freedom, free speech, love, sex, death, money and porn." The site has six full-time staff, including an esports specialist.[43][44]

Yiannopoulos Privilege Grant

In January 2016, Yiannopoulos co-founded the Yiannopoulos Privilege Grant with Margaret MacLennan, “a scholarship exclusively available to white men who wish to pursue their post-secondary education on equal footing with their female, queer and ethnic minority classmates.”[45] The grant plans to disburse 50 grants of $2,500 to disadvantaged young men to assist them with their tertiary expenses, starting in the 2016–17 academic year. 100 grants of the same amount will be dispersed in the second year, and 200 in the third.[46] The Privilege Grant's official website was temporarily taken down due to DDoS attacks.[47] Addressing his attackers on Twitter, Yiannopoulos stated "I started a charity to help poor kids get to college. Response from progressives was to call me a racist, DDoS the site. They’re wonderful."[47] As of August 2016 the grant scheme had not paid out any money or filed paperwork to become a charity in the United States. [48]

Twitter controversies

In December 2015, Twitter briefly suspended Yiannopoulos' account after he changed his profile to describe himself as Buzzfeed's "social justice editor".[49] His Twitter account's blue "verification" checkmark was removed by the site the following month.[49] Twitter refused to give any explanation for the reason of the removal of verification, saying that they do not comment on individual cases.[50] Some news outlets speculated that Yiannopoulos had violated its speech and harassment codes, such as an instance where he told a female journalist that she "deserved to be harassed" in response to her complaints about threatening messages she had been receiving due to an article Yiannopoulus had written about her.[51][52] Others worried that Twitter was targeting conservatives.[53][54][55]

In March 2016, Yiannopoulos acquired accreditation for a White House press briefing for the first time. Prompted by his recent de-verification by Twitter, Yiannopoulos asked Josh Earnest to comment on the free speech stance of prominent social media platforms, arguing in one case, that "Conservative commentators and journalists are being punished, being suspended, having their tweets deleted by Twitter."[56][57][58][59][60]

For his criticism of Islam after the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting, a terrorist attack on a gay nightclub, his Twitter account was briefly suspended in June 2016. His account was later restored.[61][62]

In July 2016, Yiannopoulos panned the Ghostbusters reboot as "a movie to help lonely middle-aged women feel better about being left on the shelf."[63][64] After the film's release, Twitter trolls attacked African American actress Leslie Jones with racist slurs and bigoted commentary. Yiannopoulos wrote three public tweets about Jones, saying "Ghostbusters is doing so badly they've deployed [Leslie Jones] to play the victim on Twitter", before describing her reply to him as "Barely literate" and then calling her a "black dude".[65][66][67] Critics of Yiannopoulos alleged that his tweets encouraged third parties to abuse Jones.[68][69]

Yiannopoulos was then permanently banned by Twitter, which released a statement saying that "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. ... We know many people believe we have not done enough to curb this type of behavior on Twitter. We agree."[70]

Yiannopoulos stated that he was banned because of his conservative beliefs.[71] In an interview with CNBC, he denounced the abusive tweets sent by others at Jones, and said he was not responsible for them.[72] After his suspension from Twitter, the hashtag "#FreeMilo" began trending on the site by those who opposed Twitter's decision to ban him.[73] In an interview at the 2016 Republican National Convention, Yiannopoulos thanked Twitter for banning him because he believed it made him more famous.[74]

Media coverage

Yiannopoulos was twice featured in Wired UK's yearly top 100 most influential people in Britain's digital economy: At 84 in 2011[75] and at 98 in 2012.[11][76] In 2012, he was called the "pit bull of tech media" by Ben Dowell of The Observer.[77] In 2015, Yiannopoulos ranked 19th in the Huffington Post's "20 People To Unfollow On Twitter In 2015".[78]

Other activities

Yiannopoulos hosted the Young Rewired State competition in 2010, an initiative to showcase the technological talents of 15–18-year-olds,[79] and organized The London Nude Tech Calendar, a calendar featuring members of the London technology scene to raise money for Take Heart India.[80]

In October 2015, Yiannopoulos and feminist Julie Bindel were scheduled to participate in the University of Manchester Free Speech and Secular Society's debate ′From liberation to censorship: does modern feminism have a problem with free speech?′, but the Students' Union banned Bindel, then later also Yiannopoulos.[81] The Union cited Bindel's comments on transgender women and Yiannopoulos' opinions on rape culture, which they stated were both in breach of The Union's safe space policy.[82][83]

In November 2015, Yiannopoulos was scheduled to give a talk at Bristol University.[84] After protesters attempted to have Yiannopoulos banned from the university, the event was turned into a debate between Yiannopoulos and The Daily Telegraph blogger and feminist Rebecca Reid.[85]

The Dangerous Faggot Tour

In early 2016, Yiannopoulos presented "The Dangerous Faggot Tour", delivering speeches at universities in North America, including Rutgers University in February and the University of Pittsburgh in March. A student-run conservative magazine at the University of Minnesota hosted Yiannopolous and Christina Hoff Sommers in February, and the event was also met by protesters.[86] In response to these protests, members of the university faculty began pushing for more robust free speech protections at Minnesota.[87]

In May, his engagement at DePaul University was ended after twenty minutes when student protesters led by a Black Lives Matter activist stormed the stage at the event.[88][89][90][91] Responding to the incident, DePaul President Dennis Holtschneider apologized in an email for the harm caused by Yiannopolous's appearance on the campus and also criticized the student protesters for disrupting the event. Attendees of the talk, organized by DePaul's College Republican's Chapter, criticized university police and event security for not removing the protesters.[92] The university later agreed to reimburse the College Republicans for the costs of event security.[93]
