Facebook announced today that it is elevating the authority and role of their “diversity officer” as a way to virtue signal to the mob of rioters and domestic terrorists plaguing our nation.

Hello friends,
Gab is growing faster than ever before and we are excited to welcome hundreds of thousands of people from around the world into our rapidly growing community. Our new user-friendly interface is a big hit and we have even more surprises in store for you over the next few months.

Months prior I had witnessed the rise in censorship happening across every social platform. It wasn’t just hearsay or a rumor, I was experiencing it first hand myself.
