Gab CEO: Then They Came For The Christians

Written by:

Published on: June 27, 2020

This week, the CEO of Gab.com, a growing social media platform sent out an email titled “Then They Came For The Christians.”  He believes the day has arrived where the attacks will center on Christians more than ever before, and I believe he is right, but I am always optimistic because my King is Jesus the Christ, the one putting all of his enemies in submission to Him (1 Corinthians 15:20-28).

Andrew Torba describes himself as a “Christian, a husband, a father, a proud American, and the CEO of @gab” on his Gab account, on which he posted that he abandoned his Twitter account on June 12 by leading “by example and encourage others to do the same thing.”

He also added the Scripture from Hebrews 11:1, which states:  “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

I’ll let his email text speak for itself.  Read and see if you agree.

When I started Gab back in August of 2016 I did so for a variety of reasons. I was living and working in Silicon Valley at the time and as a Christian Trump supporter being in one of the most radically far-left cities in the world left me feeling like the minority that I was while living there. 

I saw how others treated me, blacklisting me for supporting a political candidate they didn’t like, and looking at me as the “other” for proclaiming my faith in Jesus Christ.  My fear was that one day soon the nihilist, atheist, transhumanist tyrants in Silicon Valley would come for Christians.

That day is now here. 

Woke leftists are calling for statues of Jesus to be torn down.

Christians are being fired for posting Bible verses on social media. 

Christians are being kicked out of places they rent for “liking” Charlie Kirk tweets.

Christians are being arrested for preaching the Gospel in the streets.

Pinterest is censoring Bible verses and Christian terms.

Christians in China who join Zoom calls for worship are later arrested by the CCP.


Are you paying attention yet, Christian? 

They are coming for us. Just as communists always do. 

You don’t need to be a Christian to be concerned about what is happening though. Big Tech tyranny must be stopped at all costs. The only way for that to happen is for us to exit their data silos and digital panopticons. 

Thankfully God moved me to build what would become a digital Noah’s arc of sorts, although I didn’t realize that at the time back in 2016. From the moment Gab launched it was attacked by every press publication on the planet. Gab is run by an outspoken Christian and Trump supporter, so it had to smeared and destroyed at all costs. 

Let’s review the past week of internet censorship:

-The Federalist and Zerohedge were censored by Google

-TMZ removed their comment section to censor “hate speech”

-Gavin Mcinnes was banned from YouTube

-VDARE is losing their domain registrar

Gab was blacklisted by Visa

-E Michael Jones had his books censored by Amazon

-Katie Hopkins was banned by Twitter

-@CarpeDonktum was banned by Twitter

-Trump’s tweet was censored by Twitter

Censorship and tech tyranny are accelerating so fast it’s difficult even for me to keep up. What I know is that Gab is growing. Gab is resilient. Gab has the battle scars to prove that we stand for free speech at all costs. Even when that means being banned by both app stores, hosting providers, dozens of third-party services, and even Visa. 

As a Christian one of my most motivating factors for building Gab is to protect and preserve the ability to share the Gospel and openly talk about Jesus Christ online. I fear that one day very soon Gab will be the very last place where this can happen. 

Gab is not a Christian website, but it is run by a Christian who isn’t afraid to speak the truth boldly. Gab also has plenty of atheists, pagans, and agnostics as well who simply want to speak freely away from Silicon Valley’s watchful eye and iron fist. We welcome everyone. 

The time for Christians, and those who cherish liberty, to speak up and DO SOMETHING is now.

Torba has called on people to join Gab.

He’s not the only one calling people away from the Big Tech giants that are destroying free speech and freedom of the press.

Steven Andrew has also started his own social media site, USA.Life, after he was banned from YouTube and Facebook, having millions of followers.

Setting Brushfires 06-05-2019: Internet Censorship & The Man Who Is Fighting Back

I am not one to run from the fight.  All of the internet is the property of King Jesus as far as I’m concerned, but I will support these brothers and do support them, but I’m not giving up the ground we have on other social media platforms without a fight.  You can follow me on Gab here and USA.Life here.

They are coming for us, but we must stand and fight the good fight of faith together (1 Timothy 6:12).
