Not to sound conspiratorial, but isn't Gab.ai trying to market itself as a censorship-free twitter clone for alt-right types? If so, what better way to generate brand awareness and users than by picking fights with liberals?
- Retra 10y agoWhat good is your brand if everyone hates it?
- arama471 10y agoUnfortunately (as one might be able to tell from the election results) not everyone hates Trump. In fact his supporters would likely make a sizeable consumer base.
- nols 10y agoSeems like it, I Googled him to get a better understanding and several prominent links were Breitbart articles about other posts of his that were removed from Twitter and Facebook. Looks like a lot of it is just drumming up support for his completely free speech Twitter clone.
- gotlove 10y agoAlso, not really 'completely free speech' either. From the Breitbart article: > a zero tolerance policy for promoting terrorism Everyone has their own version of acceptable free speech. Him using 'free speech' as his tagline and yet having restrictions is hypocritical.
- astrange 10y agoThat'd be the US government's version of acceptable free speech. You can't just start a legit business with VC backing that allows terrorism and child pornography. And it gets more and more expensive to run the service the closer to the line you allow.
