Social media platform Gab is refusing the UK regime’s demands to hand over information about its users. “We refuse to comply with this tyranny,” a notice to UK users reads.
This follows a decision made by video platform BitChute to cut off service to UK users. BitChute, a platform also widely recognised for its commitment to free expression and open discourse, officially withdrew its services from the UK last week, citing untenable regulatory conditions under the UK’s recently enacted censorship law, the Online Safety Act.

Last month, the British government began aggressively extending its censorship regime beyond its borders, invoking the sweeping powers granted by the Online Safety Act 2023 to demand compliance from foreign-based platforms.
“Pro-free speech websites like Gab and Kiwi Farms are among the first targets in this international campaign to enforce the UK’s standards of ‘online safety’ – a term critics argue is being used as a smokescreen for state-sanctioned thought control,” Reclaim the Net wrote.
On 27 March 2025, Gab reported that the platform had received demands from the UK’s communications regulator, Ofcom, to disclose information about its users and operations.
The government of the United Kingdom, wielding the controversial Online Safety Act 2023, has issued a direct ultimatum, launching a blatant assault on the principles of open discourse that define our community. They demand that Gab submit to their stringent censorship regime, threatening exorbitant fines potentially reaching £18 million or a crippling 10% of our global revenue if we refuse to bow to their demands. Let us be clear: this is not about ensuring online “safety” as they claim; it is a thinly veiled attempt to exert absolute control over online expression, using ambiguous and undefined “hate speech” provisions as a weapon to silence dissent, criminalise unpopular opinions, and ultimately extinguish your fundamental right to speak freely and openly.
The UK Government Just Declared War on Gab, News Gab, 27 March 2025
The Gab domain has now been blocked for UK users. If you are a resident in the UK and attempt to access Gab, you will be met with the following message.
ATTENTION: UK Visitor Detected
The following notice applies specifically to users accessing from the United Kingdom.
“Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.”—John Milton (Areopagitica, 1644, on free speech)
Access Restricted by Provider
After receiving yet another demand from the UK’s speech police, Ofcom, Gab has made the decision to block the entire United Kingdom from accessing our website.
This latest email from Ofcom ordered us to disclose information about our users and operations. We know where this leads: compelled censorship and British citizens thrown in jail for “hate speech.” We refuse to comply with this tyranny.
Gab is an American company with zero presence in the UK. Ofcom’s demands have no legal force here. To enforce anything in the United States, they’d need to go through a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty request or letters rogatory. No US court is going to enforce a foreign censorship regime. The First Amendment forbids it.
Ofcom will likely try to make an example of us anyway. That’s because the UK’s Online Safety Act isn’t about protecting children. It’s about suppressing dissent.
They’re welcome to try. The idea that a British regulator can pressure a US company that’s IP-blocking the entire UK is as farcical as it is futile. If anything, it proves our point: censorship doesn’t work. It only reveals the truth about the censors.
We proudly join platforms like Bitchute in boycotting the United Kingdom. American companies should follow suit. The power of the UK’s parliament ends where the First Amendment begins.
The only way to vote against the tyranny of the UK’s present regime is to walk away from it, refuse to comply, and take refuge under the impervious shelter of the First Amendment.
The UK’s rulers want their people kept in the dark. Let them see how long the public tolerates it as their Internet vanishes, one website at a time.

To quote another American from years back “ With reasonable people, I will reason. With unreasonable people, I will plead. But with tyrants, I will give no quarter.” When is Joe Public going to wake up? Resist, defy, do not comply.
Amen
Same as bitchute
I am shocked at their audacity asking Gab to break the law. Piracy, oh sorry ,privacy laws seem to work only one way
So we are to assume all the other platforms have giving back door access to the WEF/EU/UK/NWO tyrants.
Thanks to your reporting, many will know who might not have known.
0300 123 3333 or 020 7981 3040. If you want to ask offcom vor singen das Horst Wessel in der Office….or if they supporten sie kinder fik ker..be polite….fascists have feelings too….
“Gab is an American company with zero presence in the UK. Ofcom’s demands have no legal force here… No US court is going to enforce a foreign censorship regime.” – Yet, despite what GAB say on their UK facing post, they are doing the UK governments dirty work for them!
True, GAB blocked UK users, GAB is a US company and the EU/UK have zero control over, but it would seem that GAB has capitulated to the whims and demands of the EU/WEF and alphabet soup! Whilst other SM platforms have all adhered to the orders giving to them by the WEF/WHO/EU including Twitter (X), FB (Meta), Google, etc.
Gab (Andrew Torba) is a leading example of what SM platform owners should be, will not comply with the tyrannical idoits that is controlled by the EU/WEF/WHO, and so for is not in bed with those figures, unlike FB, Twitter, Google, YouTube, MS.
So we are to assume that FB (Meta), Twitter (X), Google, YouTube, MS, etc of the swamp have giving the gestapo unlimited access to user data and personal information including health records and financial data requiring no court warrants.
The EU/WEF/WHO gestapo hounding SM accounts for posting salty comments and those comments that expose the parasites, whilst the politicians, ministers, Councillors all seem to be exempt from such scrutiny whilst burning through billions of taxpayers cash for their own vanity projects, private jets and high flying parties, whilst drooling for WW3, flood nations with displaced citizens from nations that they intend to demolish for minerals for the EV 201 agenda.
Amazing the ghouls seem to find 100’s of billions stuffed down the back of the couch for endless wars, genocides, massacres, but when it comes to working class, disabled, elderly, unemployed sovereign citizens they are all at the back of the queue.

The government has declared war on the people of this united land.
