Looking for a social media platform where you will not be censored for exercising your right to free speech? Look no further, because it’s arrived!
(INTELLIHUB) — Meet Gab. It’s the latest kid on the social media block which is rapidly shaping up to be a formidable alternative to the dying social networking platforms that are Facebook and Twitter.
As someone who has been test-driving the new platform for over a month now, I’m both delighted and excited to give you my personal, honest review of this fantastic new social network.
Gab was founded by Silicon Valley based entrepreneur and pro-Trump supporter, Andrew Torba back in August this year. It’s currently in private beta stage, so you’ll be put on a waiting list and will have to wait to receive your invitation – don’t worry it doesn’t take too long (at least mine didn’t).
Gab’s hashtag #SpeakFreely pretty much epitomizes the company’s ethos.
“At Gab, we believe that free speech and free thought are under attack. Political correctness has risen up at the expense of freedom of speech and has become a cancer on discourse and culture. We think that people shouldn’t treat unpleasant, counter-cultural, or conflicting ideas, words, or behaviors as full-scale criminal offenses,” the 25-year-old CEO of Gab said.
In recent days, many mainstream news outlets have sought to smear Gab’s reputation by falsely calling it “the alt-right’s very own Twitter (alt-right is practically a synonym for white supremacists and neo-Nazis).”
“Everybody is welcome on Gab and always will be” stated Mr. Torba.
“We’re not going to censor you for having a different opinion … or for arbitrary reasons.”
“We promote raw, rational, open, and authentic discourse online,”
He said he wants everyone to feel safe on Gab but said the management would not police what is hate speech and what isn’t.
