Update: UK Escalates Attack on Gab
Dear Gab Community,
Last week we outlined the UK government's direct assault on Gab and free speech through the tyrannical Online Safety Act. We detailed their demands for censorship and exorbitant fines, which we unequivocally refuse to comply with. Now, the situation has escalated dramatically, confirming our deepest concerns about the lengths these forces will go to silence dissent.
The UK government has openly admitted in recent interviews that their attack extends beyond legal threats against Gab directly. They have publicly stated their intention to actively target Gab's essential infrastructure providers – the very services that keep our platform online – in a malicious attempt to pressure them into deplatforming us. Let's call this what it is: economic terrorism waged by a foreign nation-state against an American company.
This is a calculated, extra-jurisdictional attack aimed not just at censoring speech they dislike, but at destroying a US business and silencing American voices protected by the First Amendment, simply because we refuse to bow to their authoritarian demands.
🛡Stand Against Economic Terrorism & Censorship: [DONATE NOW] (Reminder: US supporters can use standard payment methods. Due to the likely related ban by our international processor, overseas supporters can currently only contribute via the Bitcoin option on our donation page. We are working on alternative solutions.)
This isn't just about fines anymore; it's a direct assault on our operational existence. By threatening our hosting partners, payment processors (as we've already seen with our international processor ban), and other crucial service providers, the UK government is attempting to achieve through back-channel coercion what they cannot legally achieve directly: the complete eradication of Gab.
This confirms that the fight we described is not merely about differing legal interpretations; it is a coordinated campaign to cripple platforms that champion free expression. They know Gab stands as a bastion of open discourse, and they are deploying scorched-earth tactics to make an example of us. If they succeed in pressuring infrastructure companies to drop Gab, they establish a terrifying precedent to do the same to any online service, American or otherwise, that doesn't toe their ideological line. Our resolve remains unshaken. We reiterate:
We will NOT comply with UK censorship demands.
We will NOT pay a single cent in fines.
We will fiercely defend our rights as a US company under the First Amendment.
We will continue to provide a platform for free speech for ALL people, including our users in the UK.
This escalation makes the fight more challenging, but it also clarifies the stakes. They are targeting the foundational pillars that allow Gab to function. This requires us to redouble our efforts in building resilient, censorship-resistant infrastructure and mounting an even stronger legal and political defense.
We are continuing to engage with the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the Department of Justice, and other relevant US authorities to highlight this unacceptable foreign interference and economic aggression against a US entity. We repeat our call for decisive action from the US government, including President Trump's proposed tariffs, to counter this blatant attack. Now, more than ever, we need your support. This fight against state-sponsored economic warfare requires significant resources.
Your contributions directly fund:
Securing and diversifying our technical infrastructure against these targeted attacks.
Aggressive legal defenses against unlawful pressure campaigns.
Ensuring Gab remains operational as a sanctuary for free speech.
This is no longer just a warning shot; the UK government has declared open economic warfare. They believe they can bully and bankrupt us into submission by attacking our partners. We must prove them wrong. Stand with us today to defend not only Gab but the fundamental right to speak freely online without fear of state-sponsored economic destruction. Thank you for your unwavering courage and support. We will hold the line. Stay vigilant, stay vocal, stay free.
With unwavering resolve,
Andrew Torba and the Gab Team
Christ is King
