Free speech platform Gab has been taken offline due to aggressive lobbying by mainstream media to its hosting provider.
Following a spate of articles by numerous left-leaning mainstream media outlets criticizing the social media platform for enabling the Pittsburgh synagogue shooter, Gab’s hosting provider announced it would no longer host the platform on their servers.
Rt.com reports: Joyent sent it a warning message that because of an unspecified “breach of the Joyent Terms of Service,” it will be pulling the plug on Gab on Monday morning. Earlier, PayPal cut off contact with the social network, after an avalanche of media reports pointed out that Robert Bowers, who killed 11 people in a Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday, had a page there.
