Hello stemians

The social media site Gab is accusing Google of violating federal antitrust laws when the accused removed Gab from the Google Play Store, according to lawsuit filed Thursday.

The legal action is the battle between right leaning technologists and leaders against Silicon Valley giants such as Facebook and Google.

Gab say “Google deprives competitors, on a discriminatory basis, of access to the App Store, which an essential facility or resource.”
“Google is the biggest threat to the free flow of information,” Gab chief executive Andrew Torba said in a statement. “Gab started to fight against the big tech companies in the marketplace, and their monopolistic conduct has forced us to bring the fight to the courtroom.”

According to the complaint,Gab has raised more than $1 million in contributions since July.
Gab said it moved to Pennsylvania this month and filed its complaint in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

According to Gab chief executive Andrew Torba “Google is the biggest threat to the free flow of information”.

Gab also counts alot of controversial right-wing figures among its users, and i think this is good for freedom of speech.(this is my opinnion).

I belive the truth will prevail in the end.
