An ad-free open social media platform at Gab.ai has been told to find a new home for their domain, Gab.AI..Gab describes itself as a "Free Speech alternative to Twitter"....Wikipedia describes the company as:
"Gab was created in August 2016[6] as an alternative to social networks like Facebook and Twitter.[7] Founder and CEO Andrew Torba cited dissatisfaction with "the entirely left-leaning Big Social monopoly"[7] as part of the inspiration for Gab, which he created "after reading reports that Facebook employees suppress conservative articles".[8] Torba said in November that the site's user base had expanded significantly following censorship controversies involving major social media companies,[9] including the permanent suspensions from Twitter of several prominent alt-right accounts.[10]"
Due to the political nature of Free Speech the company has been subject to differing political opinions, thus creating accusations such as:
"Gab is accused of harboring white supremacist and racist content, and some members of the media consider the website a bastion of racism as a result of this stance."
