Gab是一家美国的另类科技微博和社交网络服务,以其极右翼用户群闻名[2][3][4][5],总部位于宾夕法尼亚州[6]。
历史
[编辑]Gab成立于2016年,于2017年5月公开发布[3][7]。
2019年7月,Gab将其软件基础设施切换到了免费开源社交网络服务平台Mastodon的一个分支。Mastodon发表了一份声明,抗议并谴责Gab试图“通过隐藏在言论自由的旗帜下变现并为种族主义内容提供平台”。[8][9]
营运模式
[编辑]Gab的功能类似于Twitter[10][11],用户可以发布帖子、发起私人聊天、加入群组、直播和购买产品。[6]
Gab还维护电子邮件服务、短信服务、新闻聚合网站、广告平台、网页浏览器和允许用户在第三方网站上进行评论的浏览器扩展。[12][13][14][15][16][17]
争议
[编辑]Gab 声称平台促进言论自由、个人自由、“在线信息自由流动”和基督教价值观[18][13][19][20]。
然而,研究人员和记者将这些说法,视为对其极端主义生态系统的掩盖[13][21],并指出Gab已经“多次与导致现实世界暴力事件的激进主义联系在一起”[22]。
用户群
[编辑]Gab被广泛描述为新纳粹主义者、种族主义者、白人至上主义者、白人民族主义者、反犹太主义者、极右翼分子、唐纳德·特朗普支持者、保守派、右翼自由意志主义者以及匿名者Q等阴谋论信奉者的避风港[23][24],。
Gab同时吸引了那些被其他社交媒体平台封禁的用户和群体,以及寻求主流社交媒体替代品的用户。[25][26][27]
极端主义
[编辑]反犹太主义在Gab的内容中占据显著地位,该公司本身也曾发表反犹太言论,其首席执行官安德鲁·托巴曾推动白人种族灭绝阴谋论[13][20][19]。
Gab在2018年10月匹兹堡犹太教堂枪击案后,受到了广泛的公众关注;袭击者罗伯特·格列高利·鲍尔斯(Robert Gregory Bowers)在该平台上发布了极端的反犹太主义言论,并在枪击事件前发布表明他立即打算造成伤害的消息。[28][29][30]
枪击事件后,Gab被其托管提供商终止服务,并遭到几个支付处理机构拒绝服务,因而暂时下线。[31][32][33]
2021年,Gab是计划于1月6日发动2021年美国国会大厦袭击事件的平台之一。[34] [35]
中国大陆屏蔽
[编辑]依据GreatFire测试,其网站在中国大陆被当局的网墙屏蔽,即当地网民无法正常访问该网站,2020年11月或更早起遭受屏蔽至今。[36][37]
