This article is bologna.

This browser-based extension is currently in beta and allows any Gab user to share a link from their browser to Gab in a single click. Gab Share currently supports Chrome, Brave, Firefox, Opera, and Chromium.

Here's a browseer-based solution that is NOT in beta and allows any Saidit user to share a link from their browser to Saidit in a single click. This method supports Chrome, Brave, Firefox, Opera, Chromium, Iridium, Degoogled Chrome, Fennec and probably a lot more browsers.

Create a new bookmark
Paste "javascript:(function()%7Blocation.href='http://saidit.net/submit?url='+location.href+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)%7D)()"
Save it.
Click it.
2-click solution to share on Saidit
(Gab is also 2 clicks to share so the article is wrong.)

Not only does Gab Share make it easier than ever for Gab users to share links but it also comes at a time when social media companies are increasingly embracing social media censorship. Recently we’ve seen Twitter suspending and banning users for tweeting out ”Learn to Code” and Facebook banning even more pages affiliated with Alex Jones and Infowars.

This solution wouldn't circumvent the probems the examples show. It's a way to get content onto the platform, not a way to make sure the content STAYS on the platform. Anybody can post basically anything on Twitter and Facebook. Actually doing so gets your content removed. This extensions won't do anything if Gab adopts Twitters removal policies.

The Gab Share extension is the perfect solution to this social media censorship because it’s browser-based and very difficult to suppress. Activists and censoring-organizations often pressure websites and brands to cut ties with companies they don’t approve of. This tactic won’t be possible with Gab Share because it’s not tied to a single brand or website.

Tom Parker of reclaimthenet.org doens't know how any of this works.

GAB SHARE IS TIED TO THE GAB BRAND, IF ACTIVISTS MANAGES TO PRESSURE THE COMPANY HOSTING GAB YOU CANT POST, IF THEY MANAGE TO PRESSURE GAB YOU CANT POST.

THIS ISN'T A MAGIC BUTTON!

Gab is also planning to launch a similar browser-based comments extension in the future. This will install a Gab comments engine on every site automatically and allow Gab users to comment on and view the Gab comments for any article on the Internet. Gab says that internal testing for the comments extension will be starting this week.

YOU CAN'T HACK AND INSTALL THE GAB COMMENT ENGINE ON EVERY SITE YOU VISIT, IT INJECTS SCRIPTS HOW IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO MAKE SUCH STATEMENTSTHISLEVELOFNONSENSEISBEYONDWHATICANHAAAANDLREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
