After Florida Massacre, Godaddy Boots Alt-Right Social Network Gab

Scottsdale, Arizona-based domain registrar and Internet services provider GoDaddy has booted alt-right social networking site Gab, after Saturday's massacre at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. The massacre--which killed 11 attendees at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh--was attributed to the hate-filled, anti-Semitic which frequents the Gab social network. According to law enforcement, the suspect in the killing frequently targeted Jews online and made anti-Semitic posts on Gab. GoDaddy joins a number of other companies, including PayPal, Stripe, and others, who have declined to offer their services to Gab in the wake of the massacre.
