One of the benefits of Gab was anonymity. Being able to log in through the VPN helped with that. They have eliminated that possibility, and your IP address is now visible to the world and Gab when you log in (unless you pay their $100 per year fee). Their excuse is protecting the community from foreign subversives, third-world scammers, and other bad actors. Interesting that I have not encountered this with any other websites.
Uh huh.
Someone straightened Andrew Torba’s tie, and now they will have, and thus be able to provide to our own imperial federal government and anyone else who demands access (or hacks their servers) the IP address of everyone who posts on Gab.
It was great while it lasted. Under NO circumstances would I ever log into a social media site or any other website without the protection of a good, no-log VPN.
Too many social media options have left many in the dust. I have a gab account but rarely use it. I deleted Twitter, linkedin and Facebook. I came back to Twitter and occasionally use Truth Social.
Bitchute is no longer accessible in the U.K., due to draconian new laws. Count your blessings while you still have them.
I’m not even using a VPN and I get that message just trying to read Matt Bracken. Bummer.
Patriotic British and Germans most negatively affected.
Interesting. I noted recently (about the last 3-4 months) that YouTube won’t play videos if I VPN from a US location; switching to a Canada VPN location allows viewing (without signing in). I tried the same with Gab upon seeing this post–same results.
