Gab
Overview
Gab is a social network known for its right-wing, far-right, and extremist user base. It has been described as a haven for white supremacists, white nationalists, the alt-right, and promoters of the QAnon conspiracy theory. The platform allows users to post text, images, and videos, and engage in discussions.
About Us
Gab was founded in 2016 by Andrew Torba, who positioned it as a free speech alternative to mainstream social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook. The platform's policies have been criticized for allowing hate speech and misinformation to proliferate, leading to its removal from app stores and payment processors.
Vision
Gab's vision is to create a platform where individuals can express themselves freely without censorship or bias.
Mission
Gab's stated mission is to champion free speech, individual liberty, and the free flow of information online.
Culture
Gab's culture is characterized by its emphasis on free speech absolutism, which has resulted in a permissive environment for controversial and offensive content. This has attracted a community of users who are critical of mainstream media and social norms.
