Silicon Valley elite to social media hate: The radicalization that led to Gab
- sverige 8y agoI agree with Torba's basic position on free speech. I am opposed to the recent developments along the lines of 'some speech should be banned (merely) because it offends.' OTOH, when I tried out Gab a couple years ago, very early on after it started, the fn'ing nazis were so numerous and made me so sick that I quit it very quickly. I've given up on social media after that one try. (Unless you count HN as social media.)
- stanleydrew 8y agoI didn't know that Andrew Torba (Gab founder) had been in YC recently. Seems he didn't feel like he fit in and maybe lacked the ability to deal with his feelings maturely. > Torba posted an image on Twitter of comments made by a Latino Y Combinator member on Facebook, expressing fear for the safety of women and minorities, and added, “Build the Wall.”
