Gab.com goes down in wake of Pittsburgh shooting, after far-right social network is dropped by tech companies

Gab.com, a website that carried violently anti-Semitic messages just before the Pittsburgh shooting, has been taken offline. The company has been banned by its hosting provider, GoDaddy, meaning that it no longer works. In its place is a holding message claiming the site is "under attack". "As we transition to a new hosting provider Gab will be inaccessible for a period of time," the message reads. "We are working around the clock to get Gab.com back online. Thank you and remember to speak freely."
