Born (1984-10-18) 18 October 1984 (age 40)
NationalityBritish
OccupationJournalist

Milo Hanrahan (born 18 October 1984),[1] known as Milo Yiannopoulos[2] and formerly as Milo Wagner,[3] is a British journalist and entrepreneur. He founded the online tabloid magazine The Kernel, which he sold to Daily Dot Media in January 2014. He is a weekly columnist for Breitbart.com.

Education

Hanrahan studied philosophy at the University of Manchester and English at the University of Cambridge but did not graduate from either institution.[3] He told Forbes, "I try to tell myself I'm in good company, but ultimately it doesn't say great things about you unless you go on to terrific success in your own right."[4]

Career

Hanrahan has appeared on a number of media outlets discussing various topics. He appeared on Sky News discussing social media,[5] and on BBC Breakfast discussing Pope Benedict XVI's visit to the United Kingdom.[6] As a gay Roman Catholic, Hanrahan has debated gay marriage on Newsnight,[7] and on Channel 4's 10 O'Clock Live with Boy George.[8] He later debated singer Will Young on Newsnight on the use of the word "gay" in the playground and Tinchy Stryder on the same programme in May 2014, about copyright infringement and music piracy.

Hanrahan received criticism in 2009 for tweeting that he hoped the police "beat the shit out of those wankers" at the G20 protests, and then deleting the tweet after a protestor was killed.[9] He later apologized and pointed out that he could not have known in advance about the death of Ian Tomlinson and that his tweet was sent in anger about another protester.

He appeared at the TechCrunch Europe GeeknRolla conference in 2009, arguing that males perform better in technology jobs, and that artificially engineering the workplace to include more women could lead to positive discrimination, for which he was criticized for.[10][11]

The Telegraph Tech Start-Up 100

Hanrahan organised a technology start-up awards scheme, The Telegraph Tech Start-Up 100, in 2011. It operated through an events company, called Wrong Agency, that Hanrahan had started with David Rosenberg, a friend from Cambridge University. The company was dissolved shortly after the ceremony,[3] with Mike Butcher of TechCrunch claiming the main prize had been given to music streaming service Spotify even though his casting vote had gone to short-term loan company Wonga.[12] Butcher wrote that Yiannopoulos "was put in an incredibly invidious position [because] the legitimacy of the methodology behind the judging process ... was sat on, unceremoniously. I don’t think he should take the blame for this at all. He could only do what he could do under the circumstances given [the] overt pressure from his backer. I reached out to him about all this but he’s declined to comment—perhaps understandably."[13] The Start-Up 100 did not return in 2012.

The Kernel

Together with university friends David Rosenberg and David Haywood Smith, journalist Stephen Pritchard and former Telegraph employee Adrian McShane, Hanrahan launched The Kernel in November 2011 to "fix European technology journalism".[14] The Kernel was at that time owned by Hanrahan's company Sentinel Media. In 2012, the online magazine became embroiled in legal disputes with some of its contributors after it failed to pay money owed to them.[3] The Kernel closed in March 2013, with thousands of pounds owed to contributors. Margot Huysman, whom Yiannopoulos had appointed associate editor, said that many working for the site had been "screwed over" personally and financially.[15] Yiannopoulous also threatened to release embarrassing details and photographs of a Kernel contributor who sought payment for their work for the site.[16] German venture capital vehicle BERLIN42 acquired The Kernel's assets in early 2013. The website displayed plans for a relaunch in August 2013 with fresh investment and Hanrahan reinstated as editor-in-chief.[17] BERLIN42 founding partner Aydogan Ali Schosswald would join its newly formed publishing company, Kernel Media, as chief executive.

The Independent on Sunday reported that the relaunched publication, based between London and Berlin, would focus on "modern warfare, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, pornography and space travel" from August, but newsletter The Nutshell would not return.[18] In 2014, The Kernel was acquired by The Daily Dot's parent company Daily Dot Media. Hanrahan stepped down as Editor-in-Chief but remained an advisor to the company.[19]

Gamergate

Hanrahan is credited with early news coverage of the Gamergate controversy, criticizing the politicization of video game culture by "an army of sociopathic feminist programmers and campaigners, abetted by achingly politically correct American tech bloggers."[20][21][22] Hanrahan also published correspondence from GameJournoPros, an email list where members of the video game press discussed industry matters.[23][24] Kyle Orland, the creator of the list, responded to the leak on Ars Technica, admitting that he had written a message saying several things that he "soon came to regret", but also defending the list as "a place for business competitors ... to discuss issues of common professional interest".[25]

Most members of the press saw the list as largely harmless.[26][27] Liana Kerzner criticized Hanrahan for leaking the GameJournoPros emails, and his criticism of the list as him pushing unproven allegations against figures within the gaming industry.[28] However, Carter Dotson of pocketgamer.biz did acknowledge that the list was indicative of the echo chamber that the industry's press had become.[29] Ryan Cooper of The Week criticized Yiannopoulos' involvement in the controversy, alleging Yiannopoulos "had little but sneering contempt for gamers" beforehand,[30] a view echoed by Erik Kain who argued that Yiannopoulos' involvement had more to do with damaging his political opponents than video games.[31] During the controversy, Yiannopoulos claimed to have received a syringe filled with an unknown substance through the mail.[32][33]

On December 2014, he announced he was working on a book about GamerGate.[34][35]

Media Coverage

Hanrahan was twice featured in Wired UK's yearly top 100 most influential people in Britain's digital economy: At 84 in 2011[36] and at 98 in 2012.[4][37] He was characterised as a "rising star of the Right" by The Spectator[38] in 2012 and has been called the "pit bull of tech media" by The Observer.[39]

Other activities

Hanrahan hosted the Young Rewired State competition in 2010, an initiative to showcase the technological talents of 15–18-year-olds,[40] and organised The London Nude Tech Calendar, a calendar featuring members of the London technology scene to raise money for Take Heart India.[41] He also organised the moonwalk flash mob tribute to Michael Jackson in London's Liverpool Street station shortly after Jackson's death in 2009.[42] He explained that the idea of a flashmob as a tribute to Jackson was originally a humorous suggestion on Twitter, but then decided to make it happen, inviting people via social networking websites.[42]

In 2007, he self-published two collections of poetry.[43]

He is a self-professed "proper nut-job groupie" fan of pop singer Mariah Carey. In 2014, he wrote a column[44] for Business Insider explaining why he flew to Berlin to purchase Carey's album, Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse five days before it was available in the UK and US.[45]
