CMV: Gab should not receive backlash.

I personally feel that Twitter, PayPal, GoDaddy or any other service/social media giant has no moral right to ban or avoid doing business with Gab. 

I am under the impression that Gab was blamed because the terrorist was a registered/active user there. But how many shooters, terrorists, literal Neo-Nazis(the actual Hitler worshipping kind) have social media accounts on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and so forth? #KillAllWhiteMen was a damn trending hashtag, I believe? Even our own Reddit is not free from degeneracy, we have our own cesspool of trash that we must deal with. 

It makes no sense for us to have taken action against Gab. If we felt it was justified, then why not also ostracise the "giants" of the social media circle? 

If your argument is that Gab promotes and covers up for violent people, I would like to remind you that the management of Gab has repeatedly stated that the condemn violence. They backed up all the posts by the recent violent nutjob and handed them over to the F.B.I. They then issued another statement condemning the attacks. Meanwhile, Twitter and Facebook will defend their users when they post stuff like "Men are trash", "All whites are racist", "All men are rapists" and sometimes even hire these people as writers and administrators?

Whatever Gab's original intent, it has quickly become a safe haven for white nationalists/supremacist and, due to its lax moderation, a safe place to advocate for the annihilation of an entire people. This goes beyond expression of ideas and into a realm of inciting people to act.

There are screencaps - now deleted - of members advocating to kill Jews every day from this point forward in lieu of the recent massacre. And that's just the moral point -- most of these advertisers are likewise smart enough to know that their bottom line is hurt when they associate with known bigots.

Gab cannot tout free association and free expression as virtues and then be held out as a victim when businesses decide not to associate with them and people decide to express disdain for their forums.
