Hmm… it seems the crime of the century has just occurred.
The liberals in Germany are now trying to play detective over a “fat” comment.
But the social media site Gab, where red pill truths and memes of Apu the frog flow freely, isn’t playing along with their tyrannical game.
When officials demanded the identity of the user who insulted Ricarda Lang, Gab told them to take their invasive requests elsewhere.
To be specific, Gab’s official response to the German government is “get bent,”, said CEO Andrew Torba.
Gotta love it when a company doesn’t bow the knee to these anti-free speech tyrants.

Fox News reports:
German officials attempted to start a criminal investigation into a Gab social media user who allegedly called a left-wing female politician “fat,” but the platform refused to comply with the German authorities’ invasive demands to uncover the person’s identity, the platform told Fox News Digital.
The Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt-BKA) contacted Gab about a user insulting the weight of politician Ricarda Lang, a prominent leader of an environmental party in Germany. It requested information that would identify who the individual was, under the suspicion they resided in Germany, so that they can continue their criminal investigation.
Torba called Germany’s request “one of the more ridiculous foreign data requests that Gab received… [T]hey wanted us to dox a user for calling a female politician fat.”
Gab’s official response was to inform the German government they should “get bent,” the CEO, Andrew Torba, told Fox News Digital.
“We stand firmly by our commitment to free speech principles and will not compromise the privacy or civil liberties of our users. We categorically reject any requests from governments, including the German government, that seek to stifle free speech or violate the privacy rights of our users for speech which is protected by US law. In this instance, we will not be providing any user data related to the alleged offense against a German politician.
Accordingly: you can get bent,” Gab said.
Let’s just say that the Establishment loathes Gab.
They’ve done everything in their power to shut them down.

One of the reasons the Establishment hates him is for his “extreme” views, like the following:
There’s a reason places like Little Italy and Chinatown exist in cities. People naturally want to be surrounded by their own. There’s nothing wrong with this, but many have been deceived into thinking this is an act of “hate.”
