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.

    Google has been censoring left-wing websites too.

    The one pattern that fits has nothing to do with left or right as they are commonly known: the censorship is always in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood. The sites that are being censored don't like Hamas, don't like ISIS, or just don't like censorship. The sites that aren't being censored are the ones promoting Linda Sarsour and CAIR, and their people can get away with doing or saying anything no matter how many people are offended.
