Andrew Torba is a 31 year old Christian entrepreneur from rural northeastern Pennsylvania. He is the founder and CEO of Gab.com, the free speech social network.
Andrew is married to Emily Torba and is a loving father to their two children Sophia and Samuel. Andrew gave his life to Jesus Christ and got saved at a young age, but like many young Christians today he drifted from God in his early 20’s to chase a worldly dream in Silicon Valley. After founding Gab and experiencing God’s saving grace time and time again, Andrew grew much closer to the Lord and was baptized.
Andrew was raised in a middle class family and is the oldest of five children. His father Bob Torba, Jr has been a FedEx Express courier for 30+ years in the Pocono Mountains and recently retired to work full time for Gab. His mother Amy Torba was a stay-at-home mom for 25+ years and now lovingly dedicates her time helping animals at the local animal shelter.
Andrew Torba started his first business, Kuhcoon, while he was a sophomore in college at the University of Scranton where he graduated with a BA in Philosophy in 2013. Kuhcoon, later renamed Automate Ads, was a social media marketing software business that was acquired by AdHawk in October 2017.
In 2015 Kuhcoon was accepted into Y Combinator, one of the most prestigious startup accelerators in Silicon Valley. After living and working in Silicon Valley’s inner circle for a year and a half Torba quickly became disillusioned with Big Tech companies.
Torba witnessed the rise of online censorship during the 2016 election and left Silicon Valley to start Gab.com and launch the alt-tech industry in August of 2016.
After the election of Donald Trump in November 2016, Torba tweeted “build the wall” in response to the meltdown of fellow Y Combinator entrepreneurs who couldn’t cope with the embarrassing loss of Hillary Clinton. Y Combinator promptly blacklisted Torba from their network and wrongfully labeled his statements in defense of national borders and President Trump “harassment.”
Since leaving Silicon Valley and launching Gab, Andrew Torba has been relentlessly smeared by Big Tech, the mainstream media, academics, members of the U.S. Congress, foreign governments, and the political establishment for refusing to censor first amendment-protected political speech.
As a result of Torba’s free speech principles, both Gab and Andrew have been no-platformed and banned by 25+ service providers over the years including both App Stores, multiple payment processors, and hosting providers.
Torba himself has been personally banned from online banks, cryptocurrency exchanges, and Twitter for many years now. His family is also blacklisted by VISA.
Andrew Torba has also faced numerous threats of violence, doxxing, stalking, and more for his fight to defend free speech online for all people.
Andrew Torba has sounded the alarm for what is to come for his brothers and sisters in Christ, and us all, unless we take action against Big Tech by building solutions and leaving Silicon Valley platforms for good.
Andrew is a Christian man who isn’t afraid to speak the Truth boldly and stand up to courageously fight for what he believes in.

Not just Neo Nazis but Gab is filled with QTards also.
I’m not talkin’ about Q people like our own beloved Q Followers, I’m talkin’ really nutty out there kooks.
I didn’t delete my account but I never go to Gab………perhaps I should delete it to send a message.
To: Striperman
That is complete rubbish!
I’ve been on it and have not seen anything anti-semite.
You are full of crap.
To: David Chase
WTF are you talking about David?
I have yet to see even one Neo Nazi.
What is your definition of Neo Nazi?
Do you mean Trump supporters? Do you mean people that like freedom?
To: Striperman; David Chase
What on earth are you two blabbering on about?
To: Striperman
I find it funny you do not comment on this article.
Instead you create a straw man, and then attack it.
I bet you probably never even had a Gab account based on the B.S. you said.
So how much do they pay you to be a troll?
To: David Chase
There may be Qanon on there? I have no idea?
I just follow people I find interesting.
Clearly you don’t believe in the 1st Amendment of the Bill of Rights.
You are good obedient little boot licker?
How much do you get paid to be a troll?

Gab is a haven for anti-semites.. I opened an account there after Trump was banned from Facebook and Twitter, and Parler was closed down. I also admired Andrew Torba's Christian testimony.
I was shocked by the amount of outright hatred and bigotry. I'd say somewhere between 1/8 and 1/10 of the posts there are from flat-out Nazis. Literally every post from Laura Loomer was filled with replies about "hook nosed yids" and the like.
It made me sick having to wake through such garbage. Like you, I finally had enough and closed my account.

“ How much do you get paid to be a troll?”
——————————————————————————————-
Ahhh yes, end with a immature childish comment.
So let me see if I understand you. Because there might some wisdom there that I’m overlooking.
I no longer go on Gab and should just delete my account.(What I said)
So therefore I’m somehow interfering with their First Amendment?
Ok, let’s use your warped logic…………
Gay dating sites have a First Amendment right too.
I think you should join one because if you don’t, you’re anti First Amendment.
Or perhaps you should join a Leftist web site??
After all, if you don’t, you’ll be like me and a real boot licker as you referred to me as.
You’re logic is amazing.

Systems and
parallel systems because... those other people... on and on, and on. Meanwhile,
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete
But the Kingdom of God doesn't build egos and castes, so oh noes..
Total SYSTEM collapse, because
The neighbor is the person right next door, the one within sight and reach. Go and build.
Does the country man in that cartoon come in a red-haired version? Because there you go. That's him.

You are so full of crap.
There are trolls that like to pretend they are something they are not in the hopes to shut down a free speech site. Because you hate truth and free speech.
For the record, the Nazi’s were Socialists.
The Nationalist part means they loved their country. Just like Chinese love China, Mexicans love Mexico and French love France. That’s all nationalist means. They believe in their nation. Please learn the language you speak.
Oh and Hitler was an artist, a vegan, not religious and a socialist. Does that sound like a right winger to you?
Now now how many artist/socialist/vegans not religious do you know? I bet a few and the ones you know are all hard core left wingers.
To: David Chase
You were never on Gab. You are full of crap.
I see your posts on multiple threads always accusing of everyone you disagree of as being Nazis, racists and Qanon conspiracy theorists. It’s ridiculous.
You are a left wing troll without a doubt, and always pushing the same old tired Establishment talking points.
That’s why I am asking you how much do they pay you to troll sites. It much be good. What are your benefits troll?
To: David Chase
Oh and look now you are playing the gay card!
I forgot homophobia right? Haha!
You are such a typical leftist troll!
They must pay you a lot of money to be a lunatic?
To: Enlightened1
I saw it in the early days. Lots of posts about goyim or whatever the caricature is. Also lots of N word use and usually preceded by the F word.
Last time I was on gab, which was at least a year ago, it wasn’t bad.

I noticed that too. Can’t say I spend a lot of time there.
To: Enlightened1
It’s strange how most people don’t understand what free speech is in reality. Free speech is being free to say whatever you feel, no matter what others think. On Gab, if you don’t like someone who posts anti-semitic views, you can just block them. Simple. You don’t have to see their posts again. And you can follow those who you have commonality with. The site is easy to navigate to see comments by others on a post. As far as Q anons posting, you can do the same to them you did the anti-semitics. It sorta works like real life. If you don’t like hearing what someone has to say, just walk away or block them. Andrew has created a go to site for me, since it has groups you can join that are more to your interests. Gab and FR, these are great sites.
