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.

The "space alien" is a demon.

The guy up front looks like he came from "They Live".

Just joking. I think...

No wonder they have those commercials plastered all over the tube - (on the rare occasion that I see cable TV)

30 years ago old Bible Prophecy movies would sometimes note that Christians will be called “haters” for standing up for certain Biblical values - at least in the court of public opinion.

With governments and companies often blurring the distinct line between male and female, I submit we’re just about already there.

NewThink is the “new normal” for the far Left

It is outrageously expensive, and it is really a type II diabetes drug-use for weight loss is an off-label use, which can be dangerous. Side effects like kidney failure, low blood sugar, pancreatitis and risk of cancer don’t sound like a good weight loss solution. Standard low carb/paleo diets and willpower are cheap and safe. And no one with any sense of self pride or health should be as fat as that big ol’ heifer...

She’s not poor. Probably eats $1600 a month in scnitzel

Careful, she might come and eat your schnitzel. Of course, walking away about 10 feet would probably be enough to take her breath away.

Good going Torba! Just don't fly into Germany, you will be arrested and imprisoned immediately.

Calling this person "fat" merits persecution and prosecution...

...While "German officials" not only let in vicious 3rd world criminals to attack their own people - but release them when they're caught.
