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.

Yeah, it'd be possible except none of us agree on anything except the site. And coffee. You've got everything from unarmed, socialist Europeans to me on staff. It's a fun old time when Deucalion/Juggs and I both happen to be drinking at the same time and decide to talk politics on IRC.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
