While Gab and its founder Andrew Torba prefer to pitch the site as a free-speech hub for everyone, in reality Gab is mostly well known as a haven for neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other extremists who have used it as a far-right echo chamber (in many cases after being removed from mainstream platforms). And now one of its primary fundraising methods has been cut off: On Saturday, PayPal confirmed in an email to Gizmodo that it had terminated Gab’s account in the wake of the attack:

PayPal has canceled the Gab.Ai account. The company is diligent in performing reviews and taking account actions. When a site is explicitly allowing the perpetuation of hate, violence or discriminatory intolerance, we take immediate and decisive action…

In a statement to media outlets, Gab said that its mission was “to defend free expression and individual liberty online for all people,” that violence and threats of it were commonplace on other networks like Facebook and Twitter, and that it complies with the law and is working with authorities to ensure they had access to all data from Bowers’ alleged account. However, it also hinted that if unspecified individuals were denied “free speech,” the result would be more violence.
