Gab, a social media platform for free speech, has been banned from three different banks in three weeks due to repeated smears in the mainstream media, the National Archives reported Tuesday.
Gab’s CEO Andrew Torba told The National Archives exclusively that the new technology platform has been banned from three different banks for political reasons in the past three weeks alone. One of those banks told Torba on Monday morning that it could no longer do business with Gab because of “all the bad things the media has written about it.
In the final weeks before President Trump leaves office, cancelled by most big tech platforms, traffic to new tech social media sites like Gab has skyrocketed, with millions of users turning away from the censorship of Facebook and Twitter. 272 million visits to Gab in January, outpacing traditional media rivals like NBC News, The Wall Street Journal, Breitbart News and celebrity gossip news site TMZ by a wide margin. TMZ,” among other traditional media competitors.
Because of Gab’s growing prominence, the free-speech platform has been smeared by many in the mainstream media in recent weeks, claiming that Gab is an “alt-right social media network” and “a haven for extremists” and even that Gab “leads to violence.
Toba told the National Archives, “Gab follows the law and is a legitimate business in the United States. We sell hats, shirts, and software licenses for our GabPRO service. We have communities that respect law and order. Yet, our banks and other services ban us left and right.”
Toba encourages anyone who believes in free speech to “seek out Christian banks and local credit unions and stop doing business with banks that don’t share or support American values.” According to Toba, “Today, the puritanical precepts of critical theory have engulfed every corner of our Culture, and it won’t be long before orthodox churches, businesses and individuals who don’t embrace the trends of the left will also be denied service by banks.”
Toba concluded, “We must take the initiative to cancel all their services before they cancel us.”
The three banks are not the first financial services companies to reject and “cancel” Gab; in 2018, PayPal already terminated its relationship with the social network, which allows free speech.
