There were a ton of Western European, and Chinese dissidents on Gab before Torba blocked Tor. You know people are in Jail/dead because of that POS.
Discussion
Those dissidents where picked up because they did not use Tor or a good VPN.
Torba did not care.
He started off with a good idea then the advertising money started to flow, then he got greedy.
I use a VPN because I can not shoot an army when they come for me.
That said: They will know I was there.
