    I initially thought de-platforming Milo would backfire and wind up boosting his influence, and I was dead wrong about that. Speaks to the increasing (quasi-monopolistic) power of the platforms themselveshttps://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/dec/03/milo-yiannopoulos-more-than-2m-in-debt-australian-promoters-documents-show …

        This isn't the right test case for your theory. Milo self destructed. Milo alienated his team. Milo insulted his readers. What's happened to Alex Jones since his banning?

        Did de-platforming end Milo, or was it a well-timed political attack for his pedo comments? He was fine after the twitter ban and survived/thrived off multiple college speaker shutdowns, but his act was dead after the pedo thing (and criticism of PC was more widespread)

        The destruction of Milo's brief celebrity came from within the right itself; deplatforming by the left had nothing to do with it. He freaked out his own rightist backers with that "I was the predatah" business.

        I like a lot of Tracey's takes. This one is awful. Yiannopoulos' downfall came when he started talking favorably about sexual abuse of minors. After that he would have lost his base even if he hadn't been kicked off twitter.

        Or maybe pedophile supporting garbage deserves to be shunned. He's $2M in debt because he's really just a dumbass and influence inflated by said platform. Looking forward to more things Tracey is wrong about soon.

        I think the reason it didn't happen with Milo in particular is because his deplatforming really picked up steam after release of his disturbing underage sex advocacy. There is no coming back from pedophilia unless you're a Democrat (like Epstien, a slew of Hollywood figures etc.)

        I think he retained a high degree of popularity for several months after the twitter ban, it was the noncing revelations that did him in.

        This is such a shallow take. There are so many other reasons why Milo's career and finance are dying: -declining fanbase -falling out with the Mercers -schtick got old -soured his own book deal -living an unsustainably lavish lifestyle.

        This goes beyond censorship. This is the slow roll out of the control grid being used in China.
