Gab Wants To Add a Comments Section To Everything On the Internet (cnet.com)

Okian Warrior writes: Free speech social network Gab has launched a new comments platform, Dissenter, which allows users to make comments on every single website on the Internet without fear of censorship or banning. The Dissenter platform, which integrates with Gab as either a website or a browser extension, allows users to comment on any web page in the world, with the ability to upvote, downvote, and reply to other comments.

"A free, open-source utility that allows people to dissent from orthodoxy and express what they are really thinking, without fear of reprisal, is essential in order to wrest control of the Internet and public discourse from Silicon Valley tech giants," said Gab founder Andrew Torba. "Gab.com and dissenter.com lead the way in keeping the Internet free. All people are welcome to use our products to express themselves freely." One example of recent comment censorship was review website Rotten Tomatoes' removal of comments for unreleased movies this week, which the review website claimed was due to "trolling."

Any time a community or platform talks loudly about 'freedom', they usually have some specific set of speech in mind. In this case, alt-right content is what Gab had in mind. That is the community they courted, that is the safe space they have built for them, that is the "F"reedom they defend, and that is the target audience they bend over backwards to keep happy.
