Content: Why it's banned? Gab first drew public scrutiny in 2018 following the discovery that the suspected Pittsburgh synagogue gunman used the network to threaten and target Jews. The suspect's profile featured the message: " I can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I'm going in," right before allegedly killing 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue. Gab noted in a statement in 2018, that it "unequivocally disavows and condemns all acts of terrorism and violence." It also said it suspended the account and contacted the FBI. It was forced offline, following the shooting, after being banned by online payment processors, PayPal ( PYPL) and Stripe along with domain registrar GoDaddy and website hosting service Joylent over hate speech violations. Despite attempts from Big Tech companies to shut the network down, Gab has managed to remain online. Its site is now under a different domain registrar, Epik, which welcomed the platform in 2018.
