The social media website for the alt-white got shut down. The CEO is upset the government is seizing his website for evidence. Gab has attracted migration of known banned users from other social networks, most of whom were members of the far right.
Gab reached 465,000 users in April 2018, a majority of which are white, conservative males. Many of Gab's most followed users are prominent far-right individuals, including Richard B. Spencer, Mike Cernovich, and Alex Jones.
Gab has been described as "extremist friendly" or a "safe haven" for neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and alt-right. Gab's self-promotion of "free speech" has been criticized in research articles as "merely a shield behind which its alt-right users hide", and "an echo chamber for right-leaning content dissemination."
The website announced its ceased operations in the wake of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting.
Gab also addressed the controversy on other social media platforms.

Gab’s Plan To Use Blockchain To Make Itself Indestructible https://t.co/a6JqDvMc1y
Gab isn't going anywhere.
It doesn’t matter what you write. It doesn't matter what the sophist talking heads say on TV. It doesn't matter what verified nobodies say on Twitter. We have plenty of options, resources, and support. We will exercise every possible avenue to keep Gab online and defend free speech and individual liberty for all people.
You have all just made Gab a nationally recognized brand as the home of free speech online at a time when Silicon Valley is stifling political speech they disagree with to interfere in a US election.
The internet is not reality. TV is not reality. 80% of normal everyday people agree with Gab and support free expression and liberty. The online outrage mob and mainstream media spin machine are the minority opinion. People are waking up, so please keep pointing the finger at a social network instead of pointing the finger at the alleged shooter who holds sole responsibility for his actions.
No-platform us all you want. Ban us all you want. Smear us all you want.
You can't stop an idea.
As we transition to a new hosting provider Gab will be inaccessible for a period of time. We are working around the clock to get Gab.com back online. Thank you and remember to speak freely.

| Trump and Pepe The Frog. The frog's image is a mascot to the alt-white. |
Just prior to the shooting, he posted to the site about a conspiracy theory that refugees being assisted by a Jewish organization were "invaders", and that he was "going in". In the aftermath of the shooting, Gab removed his profile and provided the information to the FBI. On October 27, 2018 soon after the shooting, PayPal terminated their relationship with Gab based on its review of accounts that may engage in the "perpetuation of hate, violence or discriminatory intolerance". Later on the same day,
Gab announced on Twitter that Joyent, Gab's hosting provider, would terminate their service on Monday. The tweet said that the site expected to be down for weeks.
Since the shooting, Gab has received substantial media attention, having been relatively unknown by the general public prior to the attack. ''Despite backlash, the CEO of Gab, Andrew Torba, has maintained that he will do everything in his power to keep the service running, even as investors cut ties
Gab and the National Rifle Association are facing a backlash. FedEx has announced it severed ties with the gun rights group. They have seen a hit since the Parkland shooting.
Also their attacks on Parkland survivors and George Soros are causing a backlash.
Making hate isn't cool.
It's time to get out of the bubble. The trolls are looking to find October Surprises. Don't be distracted.
Are you voting?
VOTE EARLY.
VOTE ABSENTEE BALLOT.
VOTE NOVEMBER 6, 2018.
Restore sanity to the country. Under Trump, people of color are suffering. With white people calling the law on Black people minding their business, it becomes infuriating that we allow our lawmakers to continue to justify this. Trump, Mike Pence and the rest of the Republicans are getting their talking points from the same bunch of folks who profit off dividing this country.
The Republicans are using the same old tired playbook given to them by Rush Limbaugh, Sean "Softball" Hannity, The Drudge Report, Fox News and Breitbart. They are fully engaged in the culture war.
Instead of talking about the economy, their tax cuts, the demise of Sears/Kmart, gun violence, the continuous Brett Kavanaugh hearing or the failure to fix immigration. They rather get you upset over comments made by entertainers and opinion agitators. The Republican Party is accepting white extremism within its ranks.
The Republican Party has control of the White House, Congress, state governorships and the junk food media. Why are they complaining about the obstruction from the Democrats? You keep complaining about the junk food media. They are holding you accountable for the racism, anti-Semitic, anti-LGBTQ, anti-immigrant and climate change denial rhetoric.
C'mon folks, the Republican Party isn't doing anything to help Americans. They've been in favor of the "status quo" and "white male privilege."
They control almost everything.
They won't if we don't get our asses out to vote this Midterm. The price is too great to allow Trump continue the course he's going.
The Republicans are going to win on the culture war. We can stop them if we get off our asses and vote this Midterm election.
