Encyclopedic overview

Milo Yiannopoulos (/jəˈnɒpələs/ yə-NOP-əl-əs; né Hanrahan; born 18 October 1984) is a British far-right political commentator, whose speeches and writings criticise Islam, feminism, and social justice. He is a former editor of Breitbart News, an American far-right news and opinion website.

Yiannopoulos worked for Breitbart from 2014 to 2017. During this time, he rose to prominence as a significant voice in the Gamergate controversy. In July 2016, he was banned from Twitter for online harassment of actress Leslie Jones. He was permanently banned from Facebook in 2019. According to emails by Yiannopoulos leaked by BuzzFeed News in late 2017, Yiannopoulos solicited white nationalists, such as American Renaissance editor Devin Saucier, for story ideas and editing suggestions during his tenure at Breitbart.
