#30: Gab: The Free Speech Social Network, with Utsav Sanduja

Gab is an upstart social network with over 200,000 users that does not censor its users’ content. Utsav Sanduja, Gab’s Chief Communications Officer and Global Affairs Director, joins the podcast to discuss what this social media is all about and addresses some of the recent controversies surrounding it. We discuss how Twitter and Facebook have been censoring users’ content, the role of Gab in supporting free speech online, and what Gab’s position is on bots and fake news. Utsav also talks about the choices made in developing the site’s features, what’s next for the Gab, and the social network’s ambitions to go foster a global community.
