Gab CEO refuses to comply with German demand to investigate user over comments about 'fat' MP
Human Events ^ | 08/28/2024 | Hayden Cunningham

The CEO of the social media platform Gab revealed that the company refused to comply with a request from German police to provide data on a user who made two posts mocking the weight of a female member of parliament. Gab CEO Andrew Torba shared the request on X that demanded information about the user because he had made two posts that “sexualized the German politician” Ricarda Lang and “denigrated her weight.”

The official demand stated, “Throughout the sexualized and denigrated representation of ‘Ricarda Lang,’ the user attacks the honour of the politician and shows his own disrespect.”

The request further outlined a list of information required to identify and locate the user, who posted his comments in German and appeared to be a German citizen. This included the user’s account ID, registration date, IP address, full name, date of birth, display names, email addresses, phone numbers, billing address, and payment method.

Torba, however, dismissed this demand from German police. In his post, he called the demand “one of the more ridiculous foreign data requests that Gab received.” He also clarified that the company had “turned down” the request for the user’s information.

“mocking the weight of Ricarda Lang”

Her weight is fine if she was 9 feet tall.

They were mocking her height.

In the day of Ozempic, there is zero reason anyone should be that fat.

I know people who have dropped over 100 pounds.

“In the day of Ozempic, there is zero reason anyone should be that fat.”

It’s $1,500 a month and not covered by insurance.

female member of parliament

I've noted many working for government in the U.S. are also obese fat sweat hogs who produce NOTHING but punitive bull s**t.

My friend used to weigh 550 before I knew him. He’s now about 250. I said he lost an entire person. He struggles to maintain it, but works out and eats healthy.

In early 2022, Lang became one of the six subjects of an embezzlement investigation launched by the Berlin public prosecutor’s office into the entire leadership board of the Green Party over the payment of so-called ‘corona bonuses,’
