Gab benefits from Twitter-less Trump, Parler removal

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

NEW YORK: Social network Gab is benefitting from the suspension of several Twitter accounts – including Donald Trump’s – and the taking offline of rival Parler, its CEO said on Jan 11.

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.
