Google has removed the Gab app from Google Play because they claim it violates their speech policy:

Breaking news: Google has removed Gab's Android app from the Google Play Store for "hate speech." pic.twitter.com/jPqeEx1ID1 — Gab (@getongab) August 17, 2017

Is anyone surprised the company that fired a man for pointing out that men and women are different would consider a free speech site like Gab hate speech?

Congratulations. Full net censorship is here, thanks to some really short sighted thinking. This will unleash evil far greater than it fixes — Mark Kern (@Grummz) August 18, 2017

People who think silencing those they disagree with is a good thing certainly aren’t capable of understanding this simple point.

Deplatforming Gab.ai is an example of the excess here. Digital Ocean amd Cloudflare also are now sweeping for "hate" sites. — Mark Kern (@Grummz) August 18, 2017

Considering how subjective ‘hate’ is, how do they determine what should be banned? Most Conservatives believe abortion is hateful, but we don’t see Google banning or suspending Planned Parenthood.

Don't be surprised when Twitter, Paypal, Stripe, and others no platform Gab next. Just watch. This is about to be massive and historical. — Gab (@getongab) August 18, 2017

This is pretty simple, we’re not sure why Lefties can’t figure this out. If you don’t like Gab, don’t go there. Don’t download the app. Why take it from other people who do go there and who want the app?

Freedom isn’t always pretty, and whether you like it or not, haters still have the right to be hateful in this country.

And no amount of banning will change that.

Free speech is hate speech now. — ProgressiveOuroboros (@ZippyYeti) August 18, 2017

And we thought 2016 was stupid.
