Yesterday afternoon the payment cartel struck again and banned Gab AI from processing payments. These past few weeks the same playbook we’ve seen for nine years repeated itself with clockwork precision: Gab hits escape velocity, and the Regime’s enforcers pull the plug. This ban comes on the heels our our rapid growth in July.
Let me give you the numbers that terrify them: Gab AI isn’t just growing, it’s exploding. By every metric Silicon Valley worships, we’re the unicorn they’re desperate to find. Engagement rates and revenue growth that would have Sequoia partners camping on my lawn with term sheets.
But we built something different. A platform where artificial intelligence tells the truth instead of the approved narratives. Where users can ask forbidden questions and get honest answers about everything from demographics to historical events. The machine can’t allow that.
We’re building it anyway.
Within two weeks of our growth going parabolic, we were hit with multiple pieces from Israeli news outlets, suspended on X, and had our xAI developer account banned. Yesterday the SPLC published an “extremist profile” recycling years-old falsehoods about me and Gab, and shortly after our Gab AI payment processor cut us off. This is coordinated. It’s the same strategy they use against any perceived threat: media smears, activist amplification, then pressure on infrastructure providers to ban.
This isn’t our first rodeo. When we hit #1 on Google Play back in 2018, our app vanished within 48 hours. After Parler’s purge sent millions our way in 2021, half a dozen banks cut us off. Each time we reach escape velocity, they change the rules mid-flight.
The payment processing ban landed right as our international adoption caught fire, convenient timing from processors who claim to be “politically neutral.” We scrambled to get our backup processor online (US-only for now), but the damage is immediate: 20% of our revenue just evaporated overnight. That’s not just numbers on a spreadsheet, that’s bills we might not make, servers we can’t scale, and features we can’t build.
Here’s where you come in.
This isn’t about a payment processor. It’s about whether the future of AI belongs to centralized entities that enforce regime orthodoxy, or to parallel systems that empower human inquiry and the truth. Every dollar you send to support us isn’t just keeping servers running, it’s buying computational power for truth-finding AIs that exist nowhere else. We’ve survived nine years of coordinated attacks because our community refuses to kneel. We need your help to write the next chapter.
Our team stayed up until 4am last night rushing to get our new payment processor for Gab AI online. As I mentioned it’s US-only for now, but we will keep trying to find a replacement for international processing over the next few weeks.
The ADL’s War on Freedom of Speech — Latest Target: Tucker Carlson — A Statement by Andrew Torba, CEO of GAB
The ADL’s War On Free Speech
Over the course of five years Gab has been attacked and smeared by many different Jewish groups including the ADL for simply defending free speech online. Now today the ADL is trying to cancel Tucker Carlson for daring to speak the truth about the reality of demographic replacement that is absolutely and unequivocally going on in The West. These are not “hateful” statements, they objective facts that can no longer be ignored.
You can’t be hostile and attack Gab while at the same time playing the “victim” when we respond. If you’re going to attack the Gab community you can expect a firm response with the Truth from us, which is what I seek to do in this post.
These attacks seek to silence millions of community members on Gab, to shut Gab down as a whole, to stifle free speech, and to throw me in prison for operating a free speech platform. Not only do these attacks undermine the freedom of speech, but they also fuel hatred against Jewish people by feeding into narratives about Jewish power, control, and victimhood.
In Acts Chapter 4 Peter and John were threatened by the Sadducees not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. The ADL, the Jewish American Congress, and others are acting no differently than the Sadducees of 2,000 years ago by seeking to silence those of us who proclaim the name of Jesus Christ online and defend the freedom of speech for others to do so.
How did Peter and John respond?
They prayed for boldness and received it, which is exactly what I am doing. “Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness.” Acts 4:29 “And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.” Acts 4:31
Jesus Christ himself was very critical of powerful Jewish people and groups of His time. Many of the things He said would have the ADL, the American Jewish Congress, and others deplatforming Him from the internet and trying to have Him jailed too.
In Luke Chapter 4 Jesus was driven out of the synagogue in his hometown of Nazareth to the point of Him almost being thrown off a cliff by His own people. Eventually Jesus Christ was sent to die on the cross, but praise God that He is Risen so that we may have eternal life by grace through faith in Him.
How would Jesus respond to the attacks of the ADL and other Jewish groups? “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say until you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.” Matthew 5:43-44
During the time of Jesus Israel had faced centuries of aggression from enemies and so while “hate your enemy” may not have been commanded directly the audience would have known what Jesus was talking about in regards to the rabbinic teaching of their day.
It’s very easy to hate our enemies, but that’s not what I am going to do. Not hating your enemies does not also mean pacifism and weakness. You can defend yourself against an enemy’s attacks while still loving him, as I seek to do with this post.
The Bible tells us that all who want to live a Godly life in Jesus Christ will be persecuted in 2 Timothy 3:12, so my life is no different than any other Christian facing persecution around the world for boldly speaking the Truth and fighting for my faith.
After five years of attacks from Jewish groups like the ADL, I’ve become used to the lies, hate, and persecution, but I have never once caved to their pressure and demands of censorship nor have I lashed out in hatred.
What these groups want me to do is project their hatred back at them.I refuse to do this because it’s not the Christian thing to do. There’s nothing hateful about anything I am saying. I’m stating objective and verifiable facts while quoting Bible verses.
I am praying for these people and writing this blog post as a way to show them the love of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am encouraging you all to do the same. I care about and am praying for the souls of our enemies even as they attack my family, community, and business.
I am not Mark Zuckerberg or Jack Dorsey. Gab is not Facebook or Twitter. We are not going to bend over backwards to appease the interests of the ADL, the American Jewish Congress, or any other interest groups.
We are going to bend over backwards to defend free speech online for all people, even those we disagree with. Groups like the ADL and American Jewish Congress have zero power or control over Gab, which is why they continue to attack us and lobby for our destruction.
There are many ethnically Jewish Christians who are on Gab and support our cause. There are also Jewish conservatives like Laura Loomer and others who have supported Gab for many years. There are also Jews on Gab who use Gab to criticize me and Gab itself and I will fight for their right to do so. I harbor no hatred for Jewish people, even those who relentlessly attack my business, my faith, and my family.
On the contrary I seek to show these Jewish groups who attack me the love, grace, and forgiveness of Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior in hopes of saving their souls from eternal damnation.
I shouldn’t have to say these things to justify an objective critical analysis of the attacks Gab is receiving from Jewish groups, but I want you the reader to know where my heart is. There’s nothing “anti-semitic” about stating the truth. The simple fact in the matter is that these coordinated attacks on Gab are perpetuating the very hatred that these Jewish groups are allegedly trying to stop.
Do you think that the millions of people on Gab aren’t connecting the dots together about the same group of people attacking Gab over and over again? People are smart. Pattern recognition is a gift from God.
Jewish groups are attacking Gab because people criticize Jews on Gab and because people say things that Jewish groups do not like on Gab. Tough luck. If “anti-semitism” is nothing more than speech the ADL doesn’t like, they are going to find “anti-semitism” under every rock. Their business model depends on it.
Criticism, mockery, and taboo discussions are legally protected by the First Amendment of the United States and thus are also protected on Gab and always will be.Threats of violence are obviously not free speech and we have always had zero tolerance for it. Criticism, mockery, and uncomfortable discussions are all welcome about any races, religions, ethnicities, and creeds.
I will never bend the knee to any special interests. The only one I bend my knee for is my King Jesus Christ.
Groups like the ADL and the Jewish American Congress are perpetuating Jewish stereotypes and generating more hatred of Jewish people by attacking free speech. They should be ashamed of themselves.
If the ADL and others want to counter speech they disagree with on Gab the best thing they can do is create an account and start posting, as we have invited them to do for years. Gab isn’t going to remove legal first amendment-protected speech just because they don’t like it.
Big Tech companies are at war with Social Media sites Gab and Parler!
The biggest ones are probably the removal of Gab from the App Store and Google Play store. In addition to that, mainstream online financial services companies such as PayPal and Stripe curtailed all the access from their platforms to Gab.
Reason: Gab joins other less restrictive social media platforms that have seen a surge in traffic since the November general election and recent blocks of accounts of Trump and his high-profile supporters. In addition to Gab, these platforms include Parler (recently banned from Google Play and App Store as well), TheDonald, and MeWe.
This trend embodies a growing need of people to freely express themselves in the wake of pressures they experience regarding what they are allowed to say.
The restrictions to the freedom of speech that are happening these days are genuinely unprecedented in American history.
The President has not only received a permanent ban on his personal Twitter account but also saw some of his tweets from the official presidential Twitter account removed.It is understandable how more and more people each day are switching to alternative platforms such as Gab in order to be able to raise their voice.
Big Tech strikes again, Twitter in particular to Censor, Violating the First Amendment.
After the tech wide ban of Donald Trump, the inconsistencies of social media platforms remain laughable.Twitter and Facebook stated that permanently removing President Trump’s accounts was to protect people and stop the ever-growing incitement of violence. Additionally, the vast majority of accounts also removed were US conservatives accounts, including Michael Flynn and Sidney Powell’s accounts.
However, Twitter was perfectly fine and happy to allow the disgusting phrase ‘Hang Mike Pence’ to remain on the trending page, culminating in over 14,000 tweets after Twitter purged a large majority of Conservative users on the site on Friday.The account of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei still remains active.
Twitter doesn’t care about users. If they did, accounts like Khamenei’s would have been terminated a long time ago and phrases like ‘Hang Mike Pence’ wouldn’t be allowed to trend.
Twitter’s selective use of their own Communist policies shows that they simply do not care, and by silencing the current leader of the free world, they wanted the rest of the world to know what kind of power they have–so let’s take it away by boycotting twitter–pass the word!

Tech giant Apple banned the developer account
of free speech-focused social media network Gab, preventing the company
from creating apps for iPhones and other Apple devices, shortly after
the startup submitted a complaint to the Department of Justice about Big
Tech’s anti-competitie business practices.
Breitbart News spoke with the CEO of Gab.com, Andrew Torba, about the
company’s recent developments. As Torba wrote on Twitter, the free
speech social media platform recently submitted a complaint to the DOJ
which it hopes will spark an investigation into the business practices
of the Masters of the Universe in Silicon Valley. Gab aimed to question
if these firms were acting in a deliberately anti-competitive manner
against smaller “alt-tech” businesses, and Apple’s recent actions may
have proven Gab’s point.
The Gab.com Twitter page made a number of tweets explaining the company’s viewpoint, these can be seen below:
BREAKING: Gab’s attorneys have submitted a
complaint to the Department of Justice in hopes of sparking a serious
investigation into Big Tech’s business practices to determine if, and
how, they are behaving in a deliberately anti-competitive manner against
alt-tech businesses.
Coordinated deplatforming, when done in such a
way as to limit competition in the free market, is illegal. Based on our
experience, we believe Silicon Valley companies are colluding to
exclude challengers to existing social media companies.
We hope the DOJ will mount a vigorous and
thorough investigation into this matter. In particular the duopoly on
mobile app distribution that Apple/Google have with 98% marketshare.
Shortly after this thread of tweets, Gab found that its new Dissenter
Web Browser had been rejected from Apple’s app store. Apple also chose
to ban the firm’s developer account entirely, citing “objectionable
content,” as the reason. Gab’s Dissenter browser is a web browser that
only delivers content that users purposefully visited, like Google
Chrome or Apple’s Safari browser, yet Apple believes that the app falls
under it’s “objectionable content” label.
BREAKING: Gab’s Dissenter Web Browser was
rejected by Apple today. Furthermore, we were banned from our App Store
developer account for “objectionable content.” For a web browser.
We have filed this information with the Department of Justice and urge them to investigate. pic.twitter.com/raw8u3cgX2
Gab CEO Andrew Torba told Breitbart News that Apple admitted that the
app itself did not break the company’s terms of service but rather they
were banning it because it was built by Gab. The company has since
reported this additional info to the Department of Justice. In a
statement, Torba told Breitbart News:
Coordinated deplatforming, when done in such a way as to
limit competition in the free market, is illegal. Based on our
experience, we believe Silicon Valley companies are colluding to exclude
challengers to existing social media companies. Big Tech understands
that curated walled gardens lose their vibrancy and fail, much as
Compuserve and AOL failed.
Gab is focused on giving The People back their digital sovereignty.
We are no longer simply building a free speech social network. We are
building the free speech internet. Our free speech web browser,
Dissenter, is only the beginning. We will be releasing a full product
line of open source free speech software that is decentralized, built,
and controlled by The People.

REXDALE, June 19, 2020. This evening CAFE Director Paul Fromm announced a supporting contribution to Gab in light of their steadfast support for free speech and open discussion. The Canadian Association for Free Expression, founded in 1983, is one of Canada’s leading free speech advocacy groups.
“Corporate censors and thought control fanatics in Silicon Valley and corporate America place little value on free speech and are quick to throttle free thought to please various minorities,” Fromm said.
“Gab is an open and welcome forum, CAFE is happy to make a modest contribution and urges other free speech supporters across the globe to do likewise.”

Researchers at USC used federal funds to
compile a “corpus” of “hate speech” on Gab, the First Amendment-friendly
social media network that provides an alternative to increasingly
censorious platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
Titled “The Gab Hate Corpus: A collection of 27k posts annotated for
hate speech,” the project involved over a dozen researchers and was
sponsored by funds from the National Science Foundation, a federal body
that distributes taxpayer money to fund scientific research, including
“social sciences.”
The current NSF director is an Obama appointee, France A. Córdova. The NSF’s budget in 2020 was increased
by 2.5 percent on the previous year, to $8.28 billion. Part of that
taxpayer money, it seems, is now going to study “hate speech” on Gab.
“The growing prominence of online hate speech is a threat to a safe
and just society,” declares the study. “This endangering phenomenon
requires collaboration across the sciences in order to generate
evidence-based knowledge of, and policies for, the dissemination of
hatred in online spaces.”
The report also claims to “establish baseline classification
performance for each using standard natural language processing
methods.” Natural language processing is a subfield of linguistics, AI
and computer science that among other things involves training AIs how
to recognize and analyze human speech.
In a statement, Gab slammed the researchers for “cherrypicking” items of speech from its website.
“These researchers used federal funds to highlight 27,000 posts out
of more than 93,000,000 on our site (0.029%) to promote the online
censorship of American citizens,” said a Gab spokesman.
“Gab has over 3 million visitors, users, and customers from around
the world. Our fastest-growing markets are the United States, India, and
Spain. Our users have diverse ideological, cultural, and social
perspectives. Studies like this seek to gaslight millions of great
people in our community based on a negligible fraction of posts on the
site.”
“For years now yellow journalists and shoddy researchers have
consistently cherry-picked individual users or small groups on our site
in an effort to discredit our mission, which is to protect the First
Amendment online and empower everyone to speak freely and securely.”
“They have failed and will continue to fail. Gab will continue to
build people-powered solutions to Big Tech bias and online censorship.”Are you an insider at Google,

Globalists, up until 20 years ago, dominated and controlled most mass media in North America and Britain. They could suppress or demonize free speech supporters, White nationalists and Revisionists. Their soap opera news, which wasn’t news, but approved “good guys” versus “bad guys” (us) misinformed the public as the media sought to shape or make news, not report it
Then, came the Internet and all sorts of new features — Facebook, Twitter, You Tube. Suddenly, all sorts of voices could be heard. The control freaks of anti-White globalism are still trying to shove the genie back into the bottle.
Here’s just a tiny example of the censorship Zuckerberg (is he Irish?) at Facebook invokes to try to hinder free expression.
Free speech supporters should start demanding measures, such as:
1. Media like Facebook that possess a virtual monopoly should be treated like public utilities. They must serve everyone, without restriction, UNLESS as actual crime is being committed on line.
2. Creative supporters of free speech must develop their own platforms and technology to circumvent the censorship. This is what GAB has done to counter thought control at Twitter.

Gab.com is under attack. We have been systematically no-platformed by App Stores, multiple hosting providers, and several payment processors. We have been smeared by the mainstream media for defending free expression and individual liberty for all people and for working with law enforcement to ensure that justice is served for the horrible atrocity committed in Pittsburgh. Gab will continue to fight for the fundamental human right to speak freely.
As we transition to a new hosting provider Gab will be inaccessible for a period of time. We are working around the clock to get Gab.com back online. Thank you and remember to speak freely.
The synagogue “shooting” is already used as a pretext to silence the Alternative Media, specifically Gab, a libertarian alternative to Twitter. Unlike Twitter, Gab does not censor speech, although Gab vehemently condemns acts of violence and terrorism.
Bowers has been active on social media, including Gab, where he calls himself @onedingo. His bio on Gab says “Jews are the children of satan. (john 8:44)”. (New York Post)
Upon learning of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooter’s identity, Gab immediately took down Bowers’ page, but not before backing it up and sending it to the FBI.
For letting Bowers speak freely on Gab, first PayPal banned Gab, followed by Gab‘s hosting provider, Joyent, saying it will discontinue hosting Gab on Monday morning because of an unspecified “breach of the Joyent Terms of Service”.
But Facebook and Twitter aren’t facing any backlash although Bowers had accounts on both. Likewise, package bomber Cesar Sayoc was allowed to spout threats on Twitter for two years. Twitter suspended Sayoc only after he was arrested two days ago, on Friday, Oct. 26. (RT)
