“Anti-Semitic platforms like Gab have no place in Texas and certainly do not represent Texas values,” Abbott said.
“What does represent Texas values is legislation like this by Representative King and Representative Goldman that fights antisemitism in Texas,” he added.

I saw a lot of it too -- that and a lot of use of the N word -- so I left rather than demand they censor.
I think Abbott is just parroting someone else thinking it will help him. Just another clueless politician trying to get points with someone. He likely has no clue what's on the internet.
I wonder what Abbott has to say about Jews on Gab. 🤔
Jeff Bezos of all people, a few years back:
“You always have to remember, this country has the best free speech protections in the world because of the Constitution but also because of our cultural norms — and you don’t want to erode those. You don’t want to create any kind of climate of fear or chill with respect to free speech norms.
“And the most important thing to remember about that is that beautiful speech doesn’t need protection. It’s ugly speech that needs protection.
“We don’t have to like it,” he added. “We don’t have to invite those people to our dinner parties, but you should let them say it.”
Abbott is proving he is part of the problem. A greater percentage of Democrats and leftists are anti-Semitic than on Gab. Yet, he focuses on one of the few places left for free speech on the internet.
Governor Abbott dropped the mask mandate in Texas recently. At the most recent CPAC meeting, before the mandate was dropped, he was ranked last in a Presidential preference poll. I believe his decision to drop the masks was predicated on his higher ambitions, or at least his desire to get past the Republican primary.
TITLE CORRECTION
Governor Greg Abbott Claims Free Speech Social Media Platform Gab Has ‘No Place in Texas’
Very Cuck of you Governor.
And users can use this new feature to block the posts of users they don’t want to see.
As usual, Gov. Abbott is showing how uninformed he actually is.
Piss off Abbott. On Gab, it’s easy to just block/ignore ibious idiots, assholes, and racists. I’m zeugma on Gab as well.
Gab has a cool new feature which allows users to block the content of users they find offensive and don’t wish to see.
lets face it when a republican claims anti Semitism or racism is a problem with a social media platform there real issue is that a lot of those visiting the site and communicating ideas do not like neocons and globalism.
“but they should do some moderation on some of these posts”
Show us on the doll where Free Speech hurt you.
Apparently it is too much to ask adults to block content they find objectionable on their own rather than out sourcing that responsibility to others. More infantilization of adults.
Yes, that’s a good feature, but they need to be opposed.
If you block them, you’re one less person that will oppose them
on point.
It's there, like it is everywhere. I just ignore it and move on. I figure anyone ranting about 'evil jewwwwwwws' is not really someone I want to talk to.
My Savior was a Jew. It seems to me that God, in his wisdom, has had a soft spot in his heart for the Jewish nation since pretty much the beginning of time on this planet. I really don't feel it's my place to question that.
Fine examples of the typical way Republicans seek attention.
“Hold muh martini. Watch this!”
I have not seen anti-Semitism Gab but might be able to find it if I really wanted to see it.
Hey Gov how about platforms that are anti-white?
Those are OK?
