That’s because FR is hosted on its own servers and processes its own payments.

It has the option of going “dark” if it can no longer run on the visible Internet.

Conservatives have alternatives, The Left can’t ban or gag us all.

FR is not a “source “ for news. It’s more like a clearinghouse of news.

As Gab found out, it’s not enough to have your own service or app. We need our own registrars, hosts, payment processors, etc. Liberals said “if you don’t like it, build your own”. So we did. And then they proceeded to ban us from Paypal, GoDaddy, etc.

You can’t patent them ... they work on open source so you have no rights... the entire game is rigged... the w3c is the oligarchy that needs to be regulated... your online profile needs to be yours as an individual ... of some company’s to profit from

Paypal is soon losing their monopoly on eBay payments and will be a footnote in history before long.

What's the alternative now? I've seen them come and go.

open source isn’t patented, but the apps you build on it could be. That’s how you btat the rigged game. Although with IBM buying Red Hat, it’s fair to wonder about the futof open source

open source isn’t patented, but the apps you build on it could be. That’s how you beat the rigged game. Although with IBM buying Red Hat, it’s fair to wonder about the future of open source
