Not really unexpected, so why advertise for them ?

Are there no hackers on the side of good?

Seems like a permanent denial-of-service attack is warranted.

May God have mercy on you for what you people have done this past week."

They’re not talking about the killers, of course, but those who didn’t support the killers with “free speech” - aka, those non-terrorist non-murderers who are the real problem.

Hopefully someone investigating Right Wing Terrorism at the FBI has an account too.

Monster wrote that he felt confident that Torba will serve as a “responsible steward” of the site.

Where “responsible” means “part of several ongoing criminal conspiracies.”

“Quoting Thomas Paine, Ben Franklin, and Uncle Ben from ‘Spiderman,’ Monster wrote that he felt confident that Torba will serve as a ‘responsible steward’ of the site.”

Indeed.

Who could ever forget those stirring words of Thomas Paine as he fought for Jewish genocide?

And Ben Franklin, when he freaked out over “migrant caravans” and sent pipe bombs through the mail?

Or those torch-lit parades down the Wilhelmstraße by the Sons of Liberty and the Green Mountain Boys?

Rob Monster, founder and CEO of Gab’s new host Epik, defended his decision to “welcome” Gab in a blog post, claiming that “de-platforming is digital censorship.”

Answers the age old question - What kind of Monster chooses to provide a platform for hate speech?

Line should read, “Rob Monster, IF THAT IS HIS REAL NAME, founder and CEO of Gab’s new host Epik.”

Yeah I’m kind of surprised Anonymous hasn’t gone full bore against Gab and everyone on it… This seems like it’s in the middle of their typical target space.

It sure is going to be a hoot when they discover the new host is actually an FBI front.

Free speech lives at http​://Gab.​​com

So they don’t even have a secure connection? That’ll be interesting.

The site’s feeds quickly filled up with the kind of hateful posts that it has become known for, including posts blaming Jews for the attack on one of their own sites of worship.

So pretty much like every other right wing website out there?

I thought the same thing; what better way to ferret out the right-wing vermin who live in the shadows and spew genocidal encouragement from the opaque Internet? Bring the roaches into the light and know their whereabouts.

YOU OWN THIS Donnie! I hope you’re proud! It’s everything Daddy wished for you.

Some good people need to set up untraceable Gab accounts, and try to help these people with some positive messages.

Hopefully, a “how to” will be forthcoming, detailing how to post anonymously on Gab. Clearly, this will have to be done carefully because, as we know, some of these people not only spout hate speech, but they are violent, to boot

“de-platforming is digital censorship.”

Oooooh. Digital censorship.

The previous domain registrar exercised its digital property rights.

Very noble of Epik, but anyone who saw Blackmail, the Monty Python show, knows what’s really happening:

No, it’s all right, sir, we don’t morally censure, we just want the money…

But a web host that includes filth among its clientele will often find its other paying customers heading for the exits.
