Gab, a racist-friendly alt-Twitter, has been banned by PayPal and others

Gab, the self-described "free speech social media platform" that's provided a home for people like the suspect in Pittsburgh's synagogue shooting (as well as a lineup of noteworthy racists), is losing support.

PayPal has banned Gab, while hosting company Joyent has reportedly given the site until Monday, Oct. 29 to find a new home. Stripe, another well-known online payment service, is also apparently in the process of severing its relationship with the site.
