Gab: An alternative to Twitter

Don't recall ever hearing of Gab until a few minutes ago.

Gab is being censored for the shooter's acts, and the fact that the Pittsburgh shooter had a page on Gab.

The discussion, at the article linked above, mentions how the same shooter had a Twitter account, but was not banned.

This kind of thing is likely to draw continued protests from those who want our media to be held more accountable to the truth.

The best way to hold a company accountable is to stop buying their products.  But in order to buy their products, another product has to be available.  There is an effort to keep others from providing that product to the information consumer.

One thing I know:  that the media leaves a great deal to be desired.  Let's hope that Gab gets back up and running soon.

I found the mention of Gab on Whatfinger, which is an alternative to Drudge.  Drudge is not reliable anymore.  The mention more specifically came through Fellowship of the Minds blog, which is what Whatfinger mentions.  In other words, I am finding alternative means of getting information.

After reading their "about page",  Fellowship of the Minds was also shut down recently.  They are only getting back online.

Clearly, an attempt at censorship is taking place.
