Gab is in the same category as The Daily Stormer. It's not courageous to hide behind free speech absolutism to protect content that invites others to violence. That's being too weak to engage in making the hard choices of what you will support with your efforts. It's the exact opposite of being principled.

Except that The Daily Stormer is creating their own content while Gab is just hosting others. I'm sure I could find YouTube comments equally as bad as comments on Gab.

The era of tech washing their hands of being accountable for user generated content on their platform is over. YouTube works quite hard to keep their platform safe. It's still not good enough. But I'm sure they have more people working on that problem than have ever worked on Gab.

Do you think 4chan also be moderated in this way and users purged for using abusive language? And how do I become the moderator of language? I sure would like to be the gate keeper of acceptable speech.

Their original logo was a variation of the stupid pepe frog. They’re not a neutral platform. They were built as a platform for the racist alt-right.

Gab actively cultivates a neo-Nazi userbase; see https://twitter.com/ClenchedFisk/status/1027690034718224384?...
