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.

    No, I was considering the possibility of setting up a SN account on Gab.ai and syndicating our headlines and links there like we do on Twitter and Facebook. I haven't returned since they put up the EULA though.
