Gab

Gab is a social media platform that promotes free speech and individual expression. Launched in 2017, it allows users to share posts, images, and videos, similar to other social media sites. However, Gab positions itself as a space for open dialogue without heavy moderation, attracting users who feel restricted on mainstream platforms. This has led to a diverse user base, including those with controversial views. Gab emphasizes user privacy and freedom of speech but has faced criticism for hosting hate speech and extremist content, raising ongoing debates about the balance between free expression and online safety.
