The Pittsburgh shooter posted there, that's what brought it to a head, plenty of other things though.

Yes, and he also posted on Facebook. I don't see Facebook getting cut off from payment processing, data center space, internet connections, or anything else.

This is purely a planned political attack. Gab refused to censor politically incorrect thinking. Facebook is happy to censor, even going after Diamond and Silk until congress started asking uncomfortable questions.

Exactly. When Facebook was informed of the content of posts, they removed them. Gab did not. And that makes all the difference in why payment processors will continue to do business with Facebook but not Gab.
