Google faces Antitrust suit filed by new social media company Gab.ai.
The legal action is the latest salvo in an escalating battle between right-leaning technologists and leaders against Silicon Valley giants such as Facebook and Google.
Gab alleges in the lawsuit that "Google deprives competitors, on a discriminatory basis, of access to the App Store, which an essential facility or resource."
"Google is the biggest threat to the free flow of information," Gab chief executive Andrew Torba said in a statement. "Gab started to fight against the big tech companies in the marketplace, and their monopolistic conduct has forced us to bring the fight to the courtroom."
Gab has published its court filing.

What about this? [theverge.com]
I haven't used gab so I don't know about it, however, I think it's pretty weird how all these takedowns happen all at once, kinda like how everybody who backed Antifa literally turned against them overnight, as if all decisions were made by one entity (the Jews, as a possible example*) as a decree.
I read the dailystormer post about the dead protestor which was supposedly the cause of controversy. It was written in the usual humorous racist style associated with Tom Shelly, with puns and bad jokes, but I wouldn't call it "hateful" and definitely not as bad as some of the daily drivel you see on sites such as niggermania and chimpmania (referring to a Negro as "it" is when my stomach starts to turn).

Antifa is being stripped of its police protection and forced to obey laws against rioting in masks for one reason only. The focus groups and polling show it is a loser. Even against Nazis the best they can get is a "pox on both of them" tie. When they are trying to burn down Berkley to get at Shaprio, Milo, etc. it ain't even close, there are STDs more popular than Antifa. Congress is more popular than Antifa.
Always go with the simple explanation, no need to resort to "Da Jews!" for every sparrow who falls.

From your linked article [theverge.com]:
What a wonderful idea. Let these sub-human scum have their racist, libertarian fantasy world playground all to themselves. And good riddance to bad garbage!

Actual I'm finding companies like Google lately not only to be sexist, but specifically cissexist [wikipedia.org].
Careful now. I've formatted the link so I'll know which knee jerk responses to this comment didn't click it and don't know what that term means.

Pictures (or in this case, search results) validating your claim or it didn't happen.
