Gab.ai
—Co-founder and CPO of Gab giving you permission to hack the website, https://gab.ai/e/posts/3582333 | ||
Gab or Gab.ai is another pump and dump scam set up by (((Andrew Torba))) in 2016, a former member of Y Combinator who saw the rise of the alt-right during the 2016 presidential election and realised that he had another bunch of sheep he could use to pawn off his inferior social media competitor to Twitter using only a $49 dollar social media template along with someone else's microblogging code that their CPO forked on Github. Torba realised that if you market yourself to them as a "free speech alternative" that they will buy it hook, line and sinker, so you can do whatever the fuck you want and the sheepish fanbase will do the advertising on Twitter, ironically, for you by making their Twitter usernames their Gab profile URLs and spamming anyone about the latest new fad like there aren't already 300 fucking micro-blogging alternatives that are also a complete ghosttown. Of course they need your your donations while you receive nothing in return, not even a tax deduction thanks to the fact that they are a for-profit enterprise. Enjoy getting swindled.
They had a small surge in popularity because Twitter is run by a bunch of leftist retards who will ban anybody on short notice. However their userbase is stagnant because the entire site is a giant circlejerk of Trump supporters who need a safe space, where nobody challenges them with facts. Also due to the fact that it actually isn't functionally all that better than Twitter, and in some cases much worse. This in turn has led them to have to backpedal against the fact that they pandered to the alt-right since the start and actually be just as draconian as their main competitor.
Andrew Torba/Torbahax - Founder and CEO
His public filing documents in founding Gab
This is all publicly available so anyone asking to remove this can also fuck off per our removal policy regarding dox. We should also let you know that he really does not like this being made aware to anybody.
Other sites registered to his name
Most of Torba's previous websites and business relate entirely to ads, and therefore should give you a clue into how they plan to monetise your user data. In particular how you can automatically track users and data in order to market to them more effectively. Seems to have worked rather well to entice people to sign up to Gab.
Torba uses < > instead of ((( ))) because he is Jew

Gab will snitch you out to your law enforcement
—Gab EULA, http://pastebin.com/EhcssEHS | ||
Due to this, Ron Brynaert decided to ask Gab on Twitter these questions, to which he got no reply, we encourage you to also ask Gab these questions because we believe that you asking them might cause Torba to sperg out again.
Gab at their security holes
Torba has had shit OPSEC before per passwords
This image below is from one of the known emails of Torba. Once again it does not look pretty, pretty fucked up but not pretty.
Logging out
If you were dumb enough to make an account on Gab, play that above game. Try and log out. Go on. See if you can do it. Remember this is cybersecurity 101. Even people who take Computer Science III should know this.
Solution: You have to go all the way into the settings page to even log out. Even we don't fucking do that shit.
External images
That's right, Gab used to not even pass images through their own servers before displaying them to you (some of which were in non-encrypted HTTP), which means congratulations your personal data was at risk for even looking at any image on their service.
It took them until someone actually pointed it out publicly, for them to publicly deny that this security hole was real and then patched it.
Gab reads your Twitter DMs and write tweets on your behalf
Congratulations you retards, through OAuth you have basically given them complete access to your entire Twitter, and then they can pass it on to law enforcement per their EULA. Fucking retards.
Gab mocks you if someone else gives them your personal info
Being completely serious about user security if you need to let them know urgently that someone has falsely registered using your info they will proceed to mock you publicly on their Twitter about it. "Move on".
