Gab.ai De-platforming, Andrew Torba, NPR Interview

Social media platform Gab.ai was de-platformed by hosting providers, DNS services, and payment processors following the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting. CEO Andrew Torba defended the site in an NPR interview, stating that Gab adheres to the First Amendment and cooperates with law enforcement. Critics argue the site is a haven for white nationalists, while Torba maintains that "bad speech" should be countered with "more speech" rather than censorship.
