Why Epik welcomed Gab.com
This post will summarize why Epik welcomed Gab.com. It will also address why I believe the operators of the site have the right to be online.

So, who the heck is Epik? Never heard of them.

Let Freedom Ring
To the casual observer, the case of Gab.com seems like it is something new. It is not. It is history repeating itself. While there are consequences to actions, there is also the proverbial risk of throwing out the baby with the bathwater. My hope, for all of our sakes, is that Gab.com treads wisely, using its liberty for the betterment of most, and the enlightenment of all.
Sincerely,
Robert W. Monster
Founder and CEO

Maybe it's my browser configuration, but gab.ai doesn't seem to be working, completely. But, they haven't gone away. The pages that load are filled with bitterness, and maybe even some hate speech, if you're into that sort of vilification. Still don't know diddly about Robert Monster, but maybe he's a "good guy".

Labeling and regulating the service providers as common carriers would fix this problem, so that nobody can be shut down for offending a person's sensitivities. You don't have to like what's being said on the internet, but nobody is forcing you to tune in.

Oh, I agree, and I want to see that happen if for no other reason than to see every gibbertarian moron's head a-splode :) Everyone wins! Except the ones whose heads went splodey-boom from cognitive dissonance of course.
