Gab, the social network known for its far-right following, has taken its website offline after domain provider GoDaddy told it to move to another service within 24 hours. Robert Bowers, who killed eleven people at a synagogue in Pittsburgh in the US on 27 October, had posted anti-Semitic messages on the network. The company said that Bowers was not using any of their services and would be removed from them as soon as possible. Apple, Google and Microsoft have also taken steps to remove Gab from their platforms.
