WikiLeaks threatened the social media giant Twitter over an alleged issue of creating 'cyber feudalism'. The organisation stated that the recent ban of news editor Milo Yiannopoulos from Twitter permanently, signals that Twitter is barring people from expressing their thoughts.

Jones vowed to leave Twitter, but was back on the platform once the ban was effected.
