College Park, MD – Social media platform Gab, where the suspect in the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre spewed anti-Semitic messages, is back online roughly one week after domain registrar GoDaddy and other internet services dropped the site.

Gab returned on Sunday after a Seattle-based company, Epik, accepted the site’s domain registration.
Gab suspended the account belonging to Robert Gregory Bowers, the man charged with killing 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue last month, shortly after the attack. On its Twitter account, Gab posted a message Sunday that said it “will not be defined by the actions of one individual.”
Gab has been a haven for racists and anti-Semites who have been banned from Twitter for hateful and harassing behavior. Gab’s founder and CEO, Andrew Torba, has portrayed his site as a bastion of free speech.
let me get this straight- Chuck the shnook Shumer, never denounced this horrific act of terror, has he??
how about he uses his power to take this site down completely, instead of standing by idly and adding fuels to the anti-semitic fires??
Time to limit free speech.
Free speech is a danger to the public. The govt needs to out limits on it. And if need be change the law. These hateful websits need to stop. And Nazis need to be labeled as terror organizations. And yes so do newspapers who threaten our democracy and safety
I suppose there might be an advantage of having all the Nazis in one place online so we can keep an eye on them.
