Say what you actually think.
No shadow bans. No warning labels. No algorithm deciding who gets to hear you. Just millions of people talking about Bible study, homeschooling, firearms, homesteading and their own back yard.

Why Gab
What makes Gab different
Freedom of Speech & Reach
All First Amendment protected speech is welcome. No algorithmic throttling or shadow banning like other platforms.
Family-Friendly Platform
We maintain a clean environment. Explicit adult content has no place here and is strictly prohibited.
Western Nations Only
Third-world IPs are blocked. No scammers, no spam farms. A social network built for Western civilization.
Funded By Users
Our users are our investors, advertisers, and customers. You're not the product being sold to corporations.
Battle Tested
A decade of standing strong against censorship. Banned from app stores, banks, and payment processors—and still here.
American Owned & Operated
We reject foreign censorship demands. No foreign government dictates our policies. Built by Americans, for free people.
Independence
We own the whole stack
Gab lost its app stores, its hosting, its payment processors and its domain registrar. Instead of finding new providers, we bought our own.

An app no store can pull
Online continuously since 2018. Nothing critical is rented from anyone else, so there is no provider left who could switch Gab off.

Where the line is
All legal speech is welcome here. Illegal content is not. Group admins set their own rules on top of that.

Apple and Google threw us out. You can still put Gab on your home screen straight from your browser — and it behaves like any other app.

Straight answers
Before you sign up
Is Gab free?
Yes. Creating an account, posting and browsing are all free. Free accounts see ads in the feed. GabPRO is an optional paid tier that removes those ads and adds features like higher upload limits.
Do I need an account to look around?
No. Posts, profiles, groups, video and the marketplace are all public, so you can read the whole site without signing up. You only need a free account to post, reply, follow or sell something.
Do you want my real name or phone number?
Neither. A username and an email address is all we ask for. You can post under any name you like, and using a VPN is fine by us.
Are there ads?
Yes. Gab sells advertising directly, and free accounts see it in the feed. GabPRO removes feed ads. If you run a business, you can advertise on Gab yourself — including the kind of business other platforms turn away.
How does Gab make money?
Mainly two things: GabPRO subscriptions and advertising sold directly by Gab. The money comes from the people who use the platform rather than from selling your activity to data brokers.
Do you sell my data?
Gab does not sell user data to data brokers. To be straight with you rather than claim there's no tracking at all: advertising on the free tier uses industry-standard measurement, and the Privacy Policy sets out exactly what's collected.
Is Gab family-friendly?
Pornography is prohibited and removed, which is not true of most large platforms. It is still a general social network where adults argue about politics and religion, so treat it as you would any public square.
Why isn't Gab in the App Store?
Google removed Gab from the Play Store in 2017 and Apple removed it from the App Store in 2018. Neither has allowed it back. You install Gab from your browser instead, which means no app store can ever remove it again.
Can I use Gab outside the United States?
Yes, across Western countries. Gab blocks traffic from regions that produce most of the platform's spam and scam accounts, so a number of countries can't reach it.
Can I leave and take my posts with me?
Any time. You can export an archive of your whole account, and you delete the account yourself in settings — no email to support, no waiting for permission.
