If Greg Abbott wants to end Gab for what he considers ‘antisemitic speech” then Abbott does not believe in free speech. He then is no friend of liberty or a free republic.
I’ve never been on Gab or Parler. They may be filled with antisemitic speech, racist speech, hateful speech, or disgusting speech. I find much of the speech of politicians, political pundits, academics and social justice warriors on the news networks offensive. However I would not supporting taking away their free speech rights, no matter how much I am offended.
I prefer giving vulgar, offensive and hateful speech a platform over allowing government, Twitter/Facebook/Google, academics, or “independent” committees to censor speech. If Gab is offensive, I will not look. If a hater begins spewing garbage on the nightly news, I switch to another channel.
The right of free speech does not compel anyone to listen. I know where speech offensive to me occurs so I know where to avoid it. If offensive speech intrudes into my world I know how to ignore it, tune it out, walk away, or turn it off. It may be annoying to filter and avoid offensive speech but I prefer freedom to the tyranny of censorship which once imposed becomes insufferable and unavoidable.
What easily offended woke censors of today do not understand is once those who offend are terminated, the fist they use against others will be turned on them.
