That is total unadulterated crap.
If Gab built their own servers with their own routers etc, what makes you think President Trump can't do it?

Gab has been in business for over 4 years. It still is not reliable or secure or widely used. It was hacked in February, with passwords and private messages leaked. If Gab is meant to be the benchmark, it's laughable.

Ranting about how easy it is to build up an entire cloud infrastructure and then build up a social media platform on top of it, along with the financial infrastructure needed to support it - that part is easy. Actually doing it will be far harder.

Gab is running great right now and have been running great for most of the over 2 years I've been on it.
I don't know about you, but running a real estate business at the top of the most competitive and the toughest real estate market on the planet for over 40 years is a heck of a lot tougher than merely setting up a web site and building up servers. It's not even close.
You need to get into the real world.
