**One of the largest cloud hosting companies Microsoft Azure has threatened to revoke the contract established with Gab.ai and effectively shutdown the website.**  It should surprise nobody that big tech would be willing to collude to shutdown competition this practice goes back a long way in monopolistic companies that pray on the public at large although this modern instance is particularly insidious due to the potential to strangle freedom of speech and expression.  Please support all of the alternatives to #bigtech and distributed #p2p networking platforms otherwise the only speech we may have online is whatever the big corporations decide is acceptable.
