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.

That's a lot of donuts.

She's not fat -- she's a portly plumpster.

Crisp apple strudels and schnitzel with noodles must be some of her favorite things.

“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.”

Wouldn’t that be hog sh!t? Don’t disparage bulls.

An excerpt Torba posted on Gab on August 26th following the arrest of Pavel Durov the CEO of Telegram at Bourget airport in France:

“Pavel’s arrest hits close to home for me. I haven’t traveled outside the United States in six years on advice of counsel for this reason. To date Gab has refused to work with a single foreign government when it comes to requests for user data or censorship of “hate speech.” For example I have large fines over my head in Germany for refusing to abide by their censorship and data requests. These requests are always tyrannical and ridiculous. A few months ago we received a data request for a user who called one of their politicians fat.

“I’ve spent the last eight years of my life fighting for free speech.

“Here is a list of our many battle scars that we were only able to overcome by the grace of God.
-A bogus witch hunt investigation from (the then) PA Attorney General Josh Shapiro
-Bomb threats on my parent’s home (FBI showed up, local elementary school was shut down.)
-Being smeared and lied about relentlessly by the international press. There are hundreds of articles.
-Our Wikipedia page was taken over by Communist Antifa admins who camp on it to this day.
-Banned from half a dozen banks
-Banned from both App Stores
-Banned from dozens of payment processors
-Placed on the MATCH list (payment processor blacklist)
-An extortion attempt by mentally ill trans hackers
-Banned from multiple cryptocurrency exchanges (Coinbase, Gemini, etc)
-My family and children doxxed/threatened endlessly
-Targeted by multi-national activist organizations and foreign operatives (ADL, SPLC, etc)
-Harassed by multiple foreign governments
-Bullied by Congress and the J6 Select Committee.

“Gab is not only still standing, but it has 50 million unique visitors a month and has empowered millions of people around the world to speak freely and access information that is censored everywhere else for eight years.

“Would I do it all over again? You bet.

“My faith in God grew tremendously through all of these trials. My relationship with my wife and children grew stronger. I am the man I am today because of these trials and I wouldn’t change a thing. If we put even a dent in the Regime’s multi-trillion dollar propaganda machine it would be worth it, but we’ve done far more than that.”

According to the BMI chart, she is far too short.
