Gab, a social media platform popular with right-wing users, stopped working on Friday night, with its website displaying an error message. The company’s Twitter account has also disappeared.
The service’s website displayed a message to potential visitors that said, “We encountered an error while processing your request. Please try again in a few seconds.”
Gab CEO Andrew Torba did not immediately respond to a request for comment on when services could return.
A Gab Twitter account has disappeared from the short message service. “This account does not exist,” one page previously used by Gab read.
Twitter said it did not act against Gab’s account.
Gab, who has already been criticized for anti-semitic content, calls itself a platform for freedom of expression, a self-characterization also used by Parler, the right-wing version of Twitter.
