In the wake of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, the social media network Gab—where suspected attacker Robert Bowers posted anti-Semitic conspiracy theories—announced that its new hosting provider had pulled its services. Late Saturday night, hours after Paypal had kicked Gab off its own platform, Gab’s Twitter account announced that hosting provider Joyent was also dropping the network over a breach of terms of service. “Gab will likely be down for weeks because of this. Working on solutions,” one tweet said. The network catered to right-wing extremists and in the days leading up to the attack, Bowers posted neo-Nazi conspiracies on Gab. Just before the shooting, he sent a final, ominous post to the site: “Screw your optics, I’m going in.” In a statement on Saturday, Gab condemned “all acts of terrorism and violence” and said it had removed Bowers’ account and was cooperating with authorities. At the same time, it celebrated its newfound infamy, posting that it had received a million hits per hour after the attack. After tweeting the news about Joyent, Gab vowed, "Big tech cannot stop us. The mainstream media cannot stop us." https://www.thedailybeast.com/gabs-hosting-provider-moves-to-shut-down-the-alt-right-social-network
The owner of Gab may get his arse handed to him by unhappy Jews. I say may, he had better move to North Korea.
Assume that is scarcasm as it was set up as an alt right platform and was for profit. " Gab does not use advertising. The site began offering a premium subscription service for Gab named "Gab Pro" in April 2017. Gab Pro has a monthly option for $5.99 a month. The subscription allows users to have private chats for up to 25 people, which was later added for all users with two users maximum and Gab Pro with 50 maximum. Messages are deleted after 24 hours. Gab Pro subscribers can also view a topic breakdown for other users, make lists of users to sort their home feed, livestream on GabTV (Gab's video-sharing service), and more easily get their profile verified. Subscribers also get a "PRO" badge next to their posts. In July 2017 Gab also started an investment project which met its goal of $1.07 million on August 19, 2017.[44][20] On August 15, 2017, Torba announced plans for its own cryptocurrency, expecting Gab to be subject to "blacklisting" by third-party payment processors.[45] " A profitable business for the guy.
GAB is the natural progression of what happens when platforms like Twitter and FB practice censorship. Get educated.
Gab even has a frog as it's logo and operated by invitation with a waiting list. I wonder if this why Pointy comes here, he is a fellow traveler with the alt-right but as so many of them are antisemitic and very racist (his poor black sister) he has to create his own bubble? A safe-space from an alt-right safe-space like Gab?
First of all, it's not uncensored, it's moderated and people are banned and their posts removed. Second, its considered alt-right because its dominated by Nazis and Qanon type morons - you can check the archives and confirm it for yourself. Please don't play victim or spread fake news.
Considering they pander to the dredge that gets washed out of other platforms? They made their bed, now they can lie in it.
The alt-right flocks to places of “free speech” and then like a virus seek to destroy everyone else’s free speech. On gab, over 5percent of the posts actually advocated for genocide. The alt-righties then verbally attacked the owners and threatened them with physical violence. Before that the alt-righters sought to drive women from the site by down voting them - to the point that the company had to do away with the voting system. In real life, the difference between the alt-right’s free speech and the “radical left’s”: one carries assault rifles and the other, pink hats. The times we live in....
