On Twitter, and in the Gab landing page statement, Torba claims that he and the company have been working with the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation by providing Bower's user data. On a now-suspended Medium account, Torba wrote that Gab "unequivocally disavows and condemns all acts of terrorism and violence." As social media platforms attempt to encourage a healthy dialogue among their users, the debate of when to step in – or whether to step in at all – remains, and it's proving to be a contentious conversation.
