Free Speech Platform Gab Reports 750% Increase in Traffic

Gab.com, the free speech friendly social network, says traffic has increased by more than 750 percent in the past few days, following the blacklisting of President Donald Trump from most mainstream tech platforms.
“Our traffic is up 753% in the past 24 hours. Tens of millions of visits,” said Gab in response to a question about slow loading speeds.
The free speech network announced that it would bring ten new servers online to handle the increased traffic volume.
Gab was the first free speech alternative to Twitter. It takes a hardline stance on freedom of speech, allowing all legal content except pornography. Users are allowed to control their own experience on the platform through the creation of custom word filters and blocks.
Gab takes an equally hardline stance on illegal content and threats of violence, encouraging users to proactively report such content for removal.
Despite this longstanding policy, both Apple and Google have, for years banned the Gab app from their app stores, a fate which has also befallen Parler.
Launched in May 2017, Gab has faced attempted censorship and suppression from multiple quarters, leading to innovative approaches to circumvent it.
To avoid censorship by cloud hosting companies, Gab maintains its own physical servers. Gab is also in the process of developing the Gab phone, to circumvent app store censorship.
Gab also developed Dissenter, a browser extension that adds a comments section to every website on the internet. When mainstream browsers like Chrome and Mozilla Firefox banned the extension, Gab launched its own web browser, also called Dissenter.
In response to the surge in traffic, Gab founder and CEO Andrew Torba gave a...
Amazon nukes Parler! ‘Coordinated attack by tech giants’ says CEO, after it became #1 free app
Calling it a “coordinated attack,” Parler CEO John Matze informed the social media platform’s users Saturday that Amazon kicked Parler off their web hosting service, which will wipe them off the internet until they find a new host.
This devastating blow coming after Parler was removed from Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store.
The narrative employed to justify the Big Tech attack on Twitter’s biggest competitor is to link Parler, a free speech site being billed by the corrupt media as a “pro-Trump” site, to last week’s U.S. Capitol protest, claiming they allowed “calls for violence.”
Amazon Web Services Trust and Safety stated “the calls for violence propagating across Parler violated its terms of service and that Amazon is unconvinced that the service’s plan to use volunteers to moderate such things will be effective.”
Conservatives have been flocking to Parler even before Twitter permanently banned President Trump’s personal account on Friday, claiming he was inciting violence. In fact, when Apple dumped Parler, it was the number one app being downloaded.

“Sunday (tomorrow) at midnight Amazon will be shutting off all of our servers in an attempt to completely remove free speech off the internet,” Matze said in a post to the platform’s users. “There is the possibility Parler will be unavailable on the internet for up to a week as we rebuild from scratch. We prepared for events like this by never relying on [Amazon’s] proprietary infrastructure and building bare metal products.”
The CEO said they will begin the process of trying to move to a new provider.
“However Amazon, Google and Apple purposefully did this as a coordinated effort,” he said, “knowing our options would be limited and knowing this would inflict the most damage right as President Trump was banned from the tech companies.”
“This was a coordinated attack by the tech giants to kill competition in the market place. We were too successful too fast,” Matze continued. “You can expect the war on competition and free speech to continue, but don’t count us out.”
It’s worth noting that Amazon chief Jeff Bezos also owns...
