Content: The tweet said that the site expected to be down for weeks. Stripe and Backblaze also terminated their services with Gab after the shooting. Gab had defended itself from criticism as a result of the shooting, saying that they: " refuse to be defined by the media's narratives about Gab and our community. Gab's mission is very simple: to defend free expression and individual liberty online for all people. Social media often brings out the best and the worst of humanity." Following the shooting, Gab received substantial media attention, having been relatively unknown by the general public prior to the attack. Ekrem Büyükkaya, Gab's co-founder and CTO, announced his resignation on October 28, citing "attacks from the American press". After the site was taken down, Gab's homepage was changed to a message saying it was down due to being "under attack" and being "systematically no-platformed", adding that Gab would be inaccessible for a "period of time".
