“Dissenter creates a free speech comment section for any URL on the web. Users can access comment threads on a URL by searching for the link on Dissenter’s web app at dissenter.com,” explained Gab founder Andrew Torba. “Alternatively, if users install the free and open-source Dissenter browser extension, users can see comments being made on any URL they navigate to displayed in a sidebar in their browser.”
“Dissenter.com thus extends Gab’s reach, and its free speech platform, across the entire internet. Anyone with a Gab.com account can access Dissenter, and utilize it to express themselves on any content on the internet in any way they see fit, as long as their chosen form of expression is legal in the United States,” Torba continued, adding that “Dissenter has become a necessary tool due to rampant corporate censorship of ordinary internet users, whether that takes the form of YouTube demonetizing millions of videos and removing comment sections, Facebook and Instagram banning British activist Tommy Robinson for his political opinions, or Netflix banning comedy shows at the behest of Saudi princes.”

Wow, I like it.
Does anyone think loading that ap would compromise the security of their P.C.? (Asking seriously, sometimes I realize I’m still in the Wild Wild West days of the intra-webs).
LOVE IT!!
FakeBook and Twitt er must be freaking :-)
I like this! Thanks for posting.
This is great if all you care about is talking to the other true believers who have installed the plug-in.
I think it should be named EchoChamber instead of Dissenter.
Good.
ALL censorship is bad.
Bkmrk.
Kind of like Yelp for domains but just for Gab members.
What I’d like is a stealthy way to post on DU without getting banned, just to blow some minds.
I understand that it’s open source, so it can be examined by anyone. If it will compromise your computer, someone will discover it and report that. That’s one benefit to it being open source.
Anyone is welcome to use it.
Well with this at least you are talking to SOMEONE. If you know what the deal is, what is the problem?
I guess it is better if we are all on our own islands, not communicating with anyone else, just accepting the BS that is shoveled to us?
It really is good :)
Just being able to comment on some absurd BBC article is therapeutic!!
Plenty of people get a gut feeling about something they read or view online and don’t quite know how to put it into the right words, so being able to read others’ comments could help them to complete that process to be able to more coherently discuss it with others. Sounds like a useful tool.
Well, you could say Twitter is an echo-chamber, just users talking to themselves. Facebook is an echo chamber with those users talking to themselves. Free Republic is an echo-chamber of users only talking to themselves ... LOL ...
As you can see, you can say that about any platform. It’s just a matter of letting people know about it, and then getting people on it ... that’s all.
How is that different from those who watch FOX and those who watch CNN or MSNBC??
Except in this case the people get to comment.
And twitter is RARELY in echo chamber under a comment.
It’s right and left fighting it out many times.
Lastly, if you don’t like what you see, don’t use it :)
My wife said that to me last week but that’s a post for another day! :)
