Gab is back a week after Pittsburgh shooting controversy forced it offline

A woman stands at a memorial outside the Tree of Life synagogue after a shooting there left 11 people dead in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh on October 27.

Gab, the “free speech” social media site that’s popular with the alt-right, is back online.

“We will never get [sic] up, we will never give in,” founder Andrew Torba wrote in a Sunday evening post on the site. “Free speech and liberty will always win.”
