Publishing company Simon & Schuster has cancelled a book deal for alt-right personality Milo Yiannopoulos, following the circulation of a video in which he condoned pedophilia.

It wasnt protests and trying to censor the dude which killed the deal, it was putting his own shit out there for all to see.
