Slightly non-populist take on his whole hand-wringing over @Twitter and FB policing online content. 👇
It's their platform. They get to decide what stays and what goes. It's there in the Terms and Conditions. You signed up for it. Now you can't whine! #TwitterPurge

If I lent you a car, and said do whatever, but don't go from City X to City Y, would you shut up and conform, or say that violates your freedom of movement?
I give you my car, I set the rules.
Same goes for a SM company's online servers. #TwitterFactCheck

I got a Gab account at startup. Haven't been active. I like Twitter because it's a mix of the wise, the foolish, & people across the political & non political spectrum. So far, that's not Gab.

My opinion of Gab is mixed.
On the positive side; No "like" option! If a post is worthy, you RT it, if not you move on. That's how it should be here.
On the negative: Gab seems to have attracted a lot of racists--white ones. Haven't seen any black ones there yet.

Alternatives haven't seemed to work well on these interwebs; take Google+, for instance. Much better than Facebook, but hasn't been able to get any traction because it's seen by many as a "not Facebook" ghost town. Gab is going to face the same hurdle.
