Long/Short Google and Twitter are stopping downloading and using Gab. Not only are they hypocrites but are blocking any way of accessing Gab which is a free speech site.

I'd like to at least download the app and be able to view the conversations but looks like it has been shut completely down...

Any tech types in here that can find a way to get into the Gab site and make it fairly simple to do?

Libs love this...but it is unamerican....yes, UNamerican and probably shows how the future will go.

Gab has been called a "Conservative Twitter" but apparently the libs control major tech sites and formats.

If you want Gab (android) go to settings, find your build and hit it multiple times and become a developer. Allow apps from unknown sources. Download Gab apk and install. Simple as that. They started blocking Gab a while ago.

The link I posted is the download link the Gab app from Gab. Should automatically download when clicked then install.

Found it via google search.

ETA: It works. Just downloaded and installed. App works.

Good grief, did you copy this verbatim from Hannity or Limbaugh? Have you ever been on gab? It's no more a free speech site than twitter, Fox news, or cnn. They are just are marketing towards a different demographic.

If you can't pull up gab or figure out how to download the app it doesn't mean the liberal conspiracy is stopping free speech. It just means you're not very good with technology, without the assistance of Google or twitter.

Oh, christ. First off, neither Google nor anyone else can block access to Gab. Second, not only is Google not blocking Gab, but they aren't even demoting Gab in their search results. The top two results on google for "gab" are Gab's wiki page and their main website itself. Not only that, but there is even a large "card" highlighting details about the app. There is even a direct link to the "Gab Mobile" page right there in the google search results.

Now, if you're talking about Gab being removed from the Play Store, yes, they refused to abide by long-standing rules of being listed in that store. This being America and all, Google is free to moderate the content of their own services. Why do you hate America?

That's Epic's decision to avoid Google's fees.

just pointing out that going outside google's store to install apps isn't all that unusual.

Honest question, could they not block Gab through their DNS? I'm aware not everyone uses their DNS.
