Far worse content is seen in Twitter, and they keep their domain. How so.
edit: immediate downvoting with no response. Really? So isn't there abhorrent content divulgated by Twitter/Facebook/YouTube/etc? Are any of their domains threatened by it?
Any of the downvoters, feel free to engage in discussion.

- jaydz 8y agoThe difference is Twitter is willing to remove the "far worse content" while Gab is not.
- c0brac0bra 8y agoThe shooter's content was scrubbed and gab notified the FBI once they were made aware of it. What else were they supposed to do?
- bassman9000 8y agoIs there any chance they don't yet have the tools to police it? It's taken a fair amount of time and resources for other platforms to do it, to the point that YouTube/Twitter rely on users to do so. And when threatened, they've done so: https://www.geekwire.com/2018/gab-user-deletes-anti-semitic-content-microsoft-azure-threatened-shut-site/ https://www.geekwire.com/2018/gab-user-deletes-anti-semitic-... Again, seems to me we're holding to different standards.
- kingkawn 8y agoIf you read interviews with Gab’s owner you will see there is no intention to mitigate the site’s extremism or radicalization of its members toward violence.
- mikesickler 8y agoThe difference is that the worst stuff you generally see on Twitter is the stuff that is highest-voted content on Gab.
