Gab Launches Encrypted Instant Messaging Client

Free speech social network and software company Gab AI released their long awaited instant messaging service Gab Chat. The service which the Gab community tout as a "Discord killer," is still in beta. In a blog announcing the service, CEO Andrew Torba explained

"Gab Chat is comprised of both public interest-based chatrooms and private encrypted chatrooms. Encrypted rooms cannot be read by anyone outside of the members in the chatroom, not even Gab."

Gab chat is released as a web app making it independent of the censorial grip of big tech app stores. This is very important to Gab AI as a company because it has been deplatformed by virtually all major big tech and big finance services. Yet as Mr Torba likes to point out, Gab has a growing and loyal community.

Gab AI is the company behind the chromium based browser Dissenter and news aggregating website Gab Trends.
