        Milo had hundreds of thousands of racist minions to harass anyone he chose to single out. Few on Twitter have that power.

        As a journalist, it should frighten you that Twitter doesn't respect human rights. Personal feelings should be set aside.

        Seriously? "respecting human rights" is allowing sustained abuse, rather than preventing it? This is insane

        There is nothing principled about a company enabling a torrent of abuse and death threats.
