So where will these guys go? Watch out for them on whichever platform you are switching to...

Gab, the extreme right social media platform and choice of the anti-Semitic Pittsburg shooter, has been driven offline!
Gab says in a message on its website that it is "under attack" and has been “systematically no-platformed” by hosting websites and other services. Gab has been dumped by pay services Pay-Pal and Stripe. Gab is looking for a new host.

We already have people making such comments on G+.
ReplyDeleteMartin Lewitt Afraid to say, they were always there. There's no real way to avoid it.
ReplyDeleteYes, guilt by association.
ReplyDeleteWhy should I watch out for them? I don't plan to join them. Do you?
ReplyDeleteJan Bruun Andersen You can always poke them, challenge them, help them to more fully reveal themselves and when they glom onto some populist meme, help direct others to a more mainstream basis for the meme.
ReplyDeleteNoone Cares There are all sorts of violent people here on G+. Shouldn't it be shut down too?
ReplyDeleteShawn H Corey It is being shut down. .Shawn H Corey Guilt by association has been the downfall of many.
ReplyDeleteWe need to follow Gab wherever it goes and make sure it continues to be deplatformed.
ReplyDeleteLeo McDevitt I think its doing a good job of that on its own.
ReplyDeleteWilliam Johnston It is but we must be sure to finish the job. These things don't go away willingly, or on their own.
ReplyDeleteLeo McDevitt should we do the same with Google? They also misused information. Albeit, G+ is platforming all of us first.
ReplyDeleteWe should do the same for any platform that allows itself to be used to spread hate William Johnston We are under no obligation to tolerate intolerance
ReplyDeleteThere are deplorables everywhere, but despite Gab founders saying they denounce those types of posts and actions, their previous comments would suggest they are more than happy for those people to be on their site. That for me is a big difference.

ReplyDeleteNah. Shawn H Corey I'm good. I didn't start this war, but I'm damn sure going to finish it
ReplyDeleteLeo McDevitt Truth resides in every human heart, and one has to search for it there, and to be guided by truth as one sees it. But no one has a right to coerce others to act according to his own view of truth. -Ghandi
ReplyDeleteWilliam Johnston _Nullis en-Verba.
ReplyDeleteThat means: "There's no truth in words, see for yourself"
The eyes and heart can be deceived, insist on evidence ~Leo
Leo McDevitt So, it's a war now? How violent of you. Of course that makes you no different from your imagined enemies.
ReplyDeleteYep Shawn H Corey it's a war. I didn't start it, but I intend to finish it.
ReplyDeleteLeo McDevitt Every war is history has been declared a defensive war. By both sides.
ReplyDeleteShawn H Corey Enough. Take it elsewhere.
