Like Parler, Gab has established itself as a home for Trump supporters and far-right voters, even though it rejects any political label and claims it is just a place for free speech. — AFP

Between 600,000 and 700,000 Internet users are registering on the platform every day, Andrew Torba, who is also a co-founder, said in a video posted on Twitter.
