gab to launch gab phone - no loner a reason to buy apple or google device

The internet upstart Gab, which is threatening the entire big-tech ecosystem, just announced they are planning to launch a new Gab phone. The declaration caught the technology world by surprise, and comes at the exact moment Silicon Valley is tightening the screws on the American public, and the world for that matter.
Former Silicon Valley entrepreneur Andrew Torba left the big-tech arena in 2016 to start Gab, a competitor to Twitter. We discussed the most recent big-tech and Deep State assault on the free flow of information from his platform yesterday.
Torba has been kicked off every payment platform and even had his family’s Visa cards revoked.
If your business is built on the backs of Silicon Valley tyrants (Apple, Google, et al) they can and will attempt to destroy you if and when you become a threat to their interests.
They did this to Gab. Then Fortnite. Now Parler.
Terrible content of all kinds is available on Twitter and Facebook.
Everyone on the planet knows this fact.
Yet both companies are on both App Stores.
Apple banning Parler is not the neutral implementation of some objective standard, but rather a cynical, politically motivated gesture and evidence of Silicon Valley elites’ disdain for ordinary Americans.
The solution, as always, is not government.
It is to build your own.
People mock this meme, but Gab lives it.
While others whine, we build.
Meet the Gab Phone.
Yes, it’s real.
The Big Tech data mining silo must come down.
We will no longer be serfs on your digital plantation.
You will no longer control our digital destiny.
You can’t stop the signal.
Stay tuned for pre-order information.

Interesting point.
I assume that if an app is offered to OS's like Gab, then the big tech companies will bar them from doing business on their OS

Just lip service imo, unless they implement their own cellular infrastructure, they are still beholden to att, Verizon, et al. If they do have plans to to provide their own service I'll not only buy the phone I'll buy shares of the company

Why would att or verizon care what kind of hardware and software you are running as long as it's att or verizon compatible?

People aren't wasting any time trying to make the disgruntled happy over some little thing.

Elon Musk needs to go Tesla phones and take on big tech. He has the cash, tech, and balls to do it

Honestly I would probably go for Elon Musk as a benevolent dictator at this point

I'm all for competition. I'm not sure that a chinese made phone is the way to go to combat the googles and the apples of the world.
It's like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.
