Milo Yiannopulos Career
- Although initially he wanted to pursue a career in the field of theatre criticism, he had an opportunity to examine the subject ‘women in computing’ for ‘The Daily Telegraph’ in 2009, following which he developed an interest in technology journalism.
- In 2011, he organized ‘The Telegraph Tech Start-Up 100’ that would rank prospective start-ups in Europe in the field of technology. ‘Wrong Agency,’ his events company, which was co-founded with David Rosenberg, ran the event. The fallout of the event left ‘The Telegraph’ with huge loss. ‘Wrong Agency’ dissolved in May 2011.
- In November 2011, he launched the online magazine ‘The Kernel’ along with Adrian McShane, ex-employee of ‘The Telegraph,’ journalist Stephen Pritchard, and his friends David Haywood Smith and David Rosenberg. The magazine was launched in order to "fix European technology journalism” with its parent company being ‘Sentinel Media.’
- ‘The Kernel’ ran into trouble in 2012 after being sued by two of its contributors for failing to pay thousands of pounds which the magazine owed to them. It was also alleged that Yiannopoulos "screwed over" many other contributors both financially and personally and sent emails to a contributor threatening to leak embarrassing pictures and details.
- In March 2013, ‘The Kernel’ closed down, and its assets were acquired by ‘BERLIN42’ which launched it afresh, making Yiannopoulos the editor-in-chief. It was acquired by ‘Daily Dot Media’ in 2014 with Yiannopoulos serving as an advisor.
- He was one of the early journalists who covered the ‘Gamergate controversy.’ He backed Gamergate censuring what he regarded as rendering a political tone in the video game culture by "an army of sociopathic feminist programmers and campaigners, abetted by achingly politically correct American tech bloggers."
- He took charge of the new Breitbart Tech section of ‘Breitbart,’ a far-right American online news media, in October 2015. His work chiefly targeted the liberals, strongly criticizing them and their political correctness culture.
- He started ‘The Dangerous Faggot,’ a controversial tour, in 2015. However, many of his speeches were canceled in the UK and the tour met with protests in the US. No Platform policy of the ‘National Union of Students of the United Kingdom’ later allowed him to speak in some colleges and Universities in the nation in 2017.
