Alternative-to-Twitter Gab.com is down Sunday night, reportedly a result of the social media platform losing its hosting provider:

Apparently their provider, GoDaddy.com, gave them until tomorrow to switch providers:
If @GoDaddy steals a six figure domain from us you can be sure we will take legal action to the fullest extent of the law. https://t.co/JqcajGXrcx

And now they’re looking to move hosting overseas:
Just spoke to our broker about @godaddy and he recommended we transfer to a DNS outside of the United States. Welcome to 2018 where freedom of speech isn’t defended by US Corporations.

Alrighty then:
Mainstream media and big tech attacks are only making Gab stronger.
Idiots.

Joyent, another technology provider for Gab, is also suspending the company which may or may not interfere with the FBI/DOJ investigation of the Tree of Life shooting:

Earlier in the day, former Governor Howard Dean even suggested that Gab be tried as an “accomplice to murder”:

You are a facilitator of neo nazis and other haters. You should be tried for being an accomplice to murder. You’re lucky shutting you down is all you get. A lot luckier than the 11 Jews in Pittsburgh were or the two African Americans murdered in Kentucky were. https://t.co/BjJyTbP4dC

Take a breath, Howard.
