RantCrush Top 5: July 20, 2016

Okay, so remember yesterday’s #LoveforLeslieJ, in support of actress Leslie Jones after she received a tirade of racist and rude tweets?

Today, things just got more dramatic. Breitbart tech editor, Milo Yiannopoulos just got banned from Facebook after Leslie Jones reported him for multiple instances of abuse. Yiannopoulos told the NY Times in a brief interview: “This is the beginning of the end for Twitter,” and he has been getting hella support from fans on Twitter with #FreeMilo.

Yet, a lot of Australians are mistaking the hashtag for a campaign promoting a free chocolate drink popular in Europe.

People on my timeline talking about #freemilo got me excited, until I realised they weren’t talking about the drink. pic.twitter.com/CWW0UHXnIK
