Over at the CCN, Gab is having trouble even getting its bitcoin on.
The declaration by free speech social network Gab that the firm was still allowed on Square’s bitcoin-friendly Cash App after being banned on other platforms may have been premature.
This emerged after the social media platform that is occasionally referred to as “alt-right Twitter,” over its popularity with extremist right-wingers, disclosed that the personal Square Cash account of the firm’s founder and CEO, Andrew Torba, had been deactivated.
Things like this are just bad for business.
Earlier this month as CCN reported, Gab had posted a tweet that gave the impression that Square’s Cash App — which allows users to buy and sell bitcoin — had reactivated Gab’s access. According to Breaker magazine, Square might have unknowingly reactivated an account belonging to Gab but will continue to “pro-actively delete any new accounts that it learned were connected with Gab.”
[...] Besides Square, other platforms that have banned Gab in the recent past include cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, online payment processing firm Stripe, bitcoin payment service provider BitPay and online payments system PayPal.
Currently, bitcoin, as well as money orders and checks sent to its post office address, are the only ways for Gab to process payments for its premium service, GabPro. On January 8, Gab announced that it had integrated with open-source crypto payment processor BTCPay Server.

You said cake. But you were talking about the money. And I knew you were talking about the money. And, I think everybody knew that. I don't speak for everybody. Unfortunately. But, I think they knew. They knew, I'm almost certain.
The money. Does anyone remember WikiLeaks? They put out those very interesting Cables. From Crooked H's State Department. And, from her predecessors. Going back to the '70s (fabulous times -- Disco). And the Banks hated it. The Credit Cards hated it. They said, "oh, you can't say that, what you're saying has to be illegal!" MasterCard, Pay Pal and some others. They made it very hard to send money to WikiLeaks, right? And this went on for years. Very rough time for WikiLeaks.
And, what about our 2nd. Amendment? You have your Citi Card, you want to buy a gun, great. Unless you're under 21. Because Citi won't pay for that one. And, they have some other rules too. Where, they'll block the payment. They're doing Gun Control through the card. They call it Corporate Responsibility. And I wish our big movie & video game Studios had it. Because that's where the biggest, biggest problem is!! youtu.be/0C_IBSuXIoo [youtu.be]
