#2It’s a double plus good day for humanity!

#3It seems like the common thread of gab members is slime, but regardless I am rather disturbed at them being kicked offline by their domain registrar which seems a bit removed from the content business.
It is however hilarious that the dns registrar in question is those mega scumbags godaddy!

#4It's fun watching everyone learn the other freedom in the 1st amendment is the freedom of association. (Even though that doesn't matter for the non-governmental entities here.)
Also, good riddance

#5buh bye and good riddance

#6Judging a group by a subset of their membership is a bad idea. We "got it" with racism and sexism and stereotyping... but it appears we still haven't quite "got it".
If some posts on gab are direct incitement of violence, they should (and as I have heard, do) get removed. Trashing the entire service is IMHO something else entirely.
If a legal activity (gab acts entirely above board) simply cannot operate, not for lack of customers or other business operations but because they are blackballed, then something is rotten in the state of Denmark. I don't know what the right solution is.

This has nothing to do with the 1st amendment

Plus1 !
But I could see hosting and Paypal object to it. The domain registrar is totally out, they are tens of thousands of horrible domains out there, no one blames the registrar.
The problem is that this tactic will be used to take down everything that is today or becomes in 10-20 years "out of mainstream."

Gab's own (verified) Twitter account posts anti-Semitic slurs and retweets white supremacist garbage. They openly court white nationalists. They've since tried to delete posts, but, of course, many of them have been screenshot. They don't even have the courage of their own convictions. The idea that they just happen to have had some nasty users is a scam that they're trying to get the rest of the world to buy into.
Argue whatever you'd like about whether, on the modern Internet, they're entitled to use mainstream providers on FRAND terms. You can build a coherent argument on either side. But please don't amplify their bogus claim of being an innocent victim.

It's also showing that the Internet is being controlled by an oligarchy.
If a site cannot get hosting and IP connectivity from /somewhere/ then there's a problem in the system.
This is a definite wakeup to the fact that if you want to do anything a little bit controversial (freedom of speech is the very first US amendment, how controversial can that be?) then you need decentralized, uncontrollable systems like Tor hidden services and NameCoin.
