In many cases the Truth is not being told by anyone in the media, but it is being told on Gab.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone brave enough to tell the truth is swiftly attacked and punished as both Tucker Carlson and Gab have learned first hand.<\/p>\n<p>Those in power have very rarely ever supported free speech and the free flow of information precisely because it is a threat to their system of control.<\/p>\n<p>Gab is 100% funded by our community of great people from around the world. We consider our <a href=\"https:\/\/pro.gab.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GabPRO<\/a> members, donors, and customers to be part of the Gab Team because these folks make Gab possible for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>PRO members and donors give us the honor and privilege of defending free speech without being dependent on or beholden to \u201cwoke\u201d corporate advertisers. <strong>Unlike Silicon Valley companies Gab doesn\u2019t need to use invasive surveillance capitalism data mining practices to make money. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>GabPRO members give us the blessing of avoiding the same situation Facebook is facing right now: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barrons.com\/articles\/facebook-advertising-boycott-has-its-limits-adl-and-color-of-change-say-51594329096\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">massive corporate advertising boycotts<\/a>. Facebook is also experiencing tremendous pressure from radical far-left activist groups and marxist propagandists at mainstream media outlets.<\/p>\n<p>Something we know all too well here at Gab.<\/p>\n<p>Our people-first business model also allows us to avoid the fate of conservative media outlets who are attacked in the same way.<\/p>\n<p>For example: Breitbart\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/labusinessjournal.com\/news\/2017\/jun\/06\/breitbart-ad-revenue-drops-more-90-percent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ad revenue tanked 90%<\/a> after activists targeted and harassed any business that advertised on their website. Tucker Carlson himself has had difficulties keeping advertisers on the highest rated TV show of all time.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1709 jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled\" src=\"https:\/\/news.gab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-10-at-8.51.40-PM-1024x820.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.gab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-10-at-8.51.40-PM-1024x820.png 1024w, https:\/\/news.gab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-10-at-8.51.40-PM-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/news.gab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-10-at-8.51.40-PM-768x615.png 768w, https:\/\/news.gab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-10-at-8.51.40-PM.png 1084w\" alt=\"\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Thanks to GabPRO members the woke marxist machine has no impact on Gab.
