ATTENTION: UK Visitor Detected The following notice applies specifically to users accessing from the United Kingdom.
UK Flag "Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties." John Milton (Areopagitica, 1644, on free speech) ACCESS RESTRICTED BY PROVIDER
After receiving yet another demand from the UK's speech police, Ofcom, Gab has made the decision to block the entire United Kingdom from accessing our website.
This latest email from Ofcom ordered us to disclose information about our users and operations. We know where this leads: compelled censorship and British citizens thrown in jail for "hate speech." We refuse to comply with this tyranny.
Gab is an American company with zero presence in the UK. Ofcom's demands have no legal force here. To enforce anything in the United States, they'd need to go through a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty request or letters rogatory. No U.S. court is going to enforce a foreign censorship regime. The First Amendment forbids it.
Ofcom will likely try to make an example of us anyway. That's because the UK's Online Safety Act isn't about protecting children. It's about suppressing dissent.
They're welcome to try. The idea that a British regulator can pressure a U.S. company that's IP-blocking the entire UK is as farcical as it is futile. If anything, it proves our point: censorship doesn't work. It only reveals the truth about the censors.
We proudly join platforms like Bitchute in boycotting the United Kingdom. American companies should follow suit. The power of the UK's parliament ends where the First Amendment begins.
The only way to vote against the tyranny of the UK's present regime is to walk away from it, refuse to comply, and take refuge under the impervious shelter of the First Amendment.
The UK's rulers want their people kept in the dark. Let them see how long the public tolerates it as their Internet vanishes, one website at a time.
It's weird. Why is GAB bending the knee when it's making the case why they shouldn't and have no presence in the UK and are in America.
Some information is being omissed here explaining the power the UK has to make them self-censor. China just has it's own firewall and doesn't make these demands. Something which the UK should be doing and not making businesses in America do the work for them.
Makes me wonder if both GAB and UK are working together to ensure new precedents are set (companies in America now have to self-censor on the whims of outside governments like Australia/UK etc all leftist run). Forum leftists also get to say "see the governments isn't censoring anyone, it's self-censorship by the company!" or something super-retarded like that.
Musk did the same for Bolivia and Argentina (or some such 3rd world south American countries). They argued that its better to censor a few than lose the whole country.
There does seem to be a global effort to normalize how to censor.
"It's weird. Why is GAB bending the knee when it's making the case why they shouldn't and have no presence in the UK and are in America."
It's because Assange was pursued all over the world and ended up drugged and tortured in a dungeon. They even forced down the Ecuador President's personal aircraft to search it.
It's because the Parler CEO was arrested on fake charges. (Try that w/Zuke or the Gulag twins)
It's because the zogged UK recently passed laws declaring they can arrest anyone in the world IF (((one of their citizens))) is offended by use of the English language on any website. https://x.com/MinutemenOutfit/status/1822070685897781444
the fact is, it really sucks getting sued. we dont know what kind of capital gab is working with and they could die on this hill if their money isnt right.
sometimes the realities of business prevent moral high grounding.
Torba knows they exist and wants all UK folks to know their gov wants gab blocked. This accomplishes that while allowing for easy, cheap/free VPN access.
They are not bending the knee. Quite the opposite. UK users will obviously still be able to access gab via vpn or similar.
They are literally telling the uk government to go choke on a shitty dick, (though kier starmer is probably into that type of thing)
Without this, GAB would be compelled to provide ip addresses to the uk gov, and jump through a bunch of bs regs.
So now, when the uk zogbots get uoset because some local dares to opine the thought that maybe he doesn't want his daughter harrased or worse by the new guests that are staying in the local hotel at his expense..gab will rightly and legally not just tell them to fuck off, but will place any communication from the uk directly into the spam shredder, unread.
Torba has been blocking VPNs and Tor. Part of the reason why I killed my account there. I still lurk on Gab but don't post anymore. If Torba had the balls, he wouldn't be blocking any country if he truly though he would be protected by the US court system/1st amendment.
I mean I guess I understand why they did it maybe they are afraid that they can somehow get drawn into a legal hassle with the UK but in the end this is just censorship played out in a different way. And so the people of the UK will live in the dark as they're complete country is taken over just like the United States is being taken over if we're not already taken over
Here in Europe we'll have to come to terms with the use of VPN's to access most of the internet, like the Chinese and Iranians do. God bless your 1st and 2nd amendments.
That's why the different sets of jews own all the big VPN's, some belong to Kape (founded by "former" israeli intelligence). So they're honeypots + they make money off the goy, an expected jewish thing to do.
Look around you. What are people constantly staring at? You've already been captured. Now they just need to enslave you in your own country without you (((noticing))).
Even the site’s name is suspect; looking and sounding very similar to the Hebrew word “Gabbai”, which means collector of gifts or taxes, which makes a lot of sense considering Gab’s business model.
The UK,represented by britain (which I withhold the 'great' from) is a rainy little island of socialist snakes that, in a just world, would be sank to the bottom of the sea in a nuclear holocaust, if not for what remains of the good citizens imprisoned there.
I'm an American, and yet I dream of their citzens freed, and u.k. monarchs tried, convicted, and rotting in mass graves covered in lime.
