Packt reports that Gab's Dissenter browser extension was removed from Mozilla's Firefox add-ons on April 10th (people already using it can continue to do so), and was booted from Google's Chrome browser the next day. Gab pitches itself as an anti-censorship social media platform that only prohibits speech that is illegal. Their Dissenter browser extension and associated website allow people to share comments about any webpage, giving users the ability to share comments on articles, videos, etc., regardless of whether or not the website hosting the content has a comments section. Mozilla's rationale for the ban was that Dissenter was being used to promote violence, hate speech, and discrimination, but they failed to show any examples to bolster that claim. Gab plans to develop their own browser in response.

It's either silencing nazis or killing them. No other choices are non-fictional.
Every time you scream for a vision of "free speech" that endorses ideologies that mass murder, we move one inch closer to cutting your throat to spare our own. That's life.

At 5'10" and 141lb at last weigh-in, I don't think I count as "fat," honey :) If you want "piece of shit," there are any of a number of small-L libertarians who would sell their mothers for dog food for the right price you can get your fill of. It's hard to be a "neckbeard" when you don't actually grow facial hair. And as to nobody, well, sure, we all are here. It's one tiny tech forum out in the middle of the Internet. I rather like it this way.
Sit tight; your Resource Room supervisor is on her way and we're bringing the ramp and the mouthguard. *Do* try not to soil yourself any more than you already have, you poor fragile snowflake...

Side effect of stress and prolonged periods of elevated cortisol in females - but you probably know that. If you were to trim the mustache, give yourself a comb-over and wear an SS uniform... then I think Aristarchus may let you peg him!

Leave me out of your weirdo fetish fantasies. There's one girl I work with who's growing a bit of fuzz and it's really disconcerting to watch.

Facial hair is no basis for a system of government! True authority derives from the mandate of the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony! I mean, if I claimed to be an Emperor, because some moistened Bint lobbed a scimitar at me, even if she did have a rather comely five-0-clock shadow, they'd lock me away!
