Dear Gab Community,

The battleground has shifted, and the stakes have been raised. Our relentless fight against the UK government's tyrannical Online Safety Act (OSA) has now intersected with crucial international trade negotiations between the United States and the United Kingdom. Thanks to your support our legal team has been able to make in-roads with communications on our behalf to the White House, the DOJ, and other relevant government agencies regarding our battle for free speech against the UK government. Thank you to those who have donated to support these efforts, you played a crucial role in helping us get to this point.

Reports confirm that the US government is actively pressuring the UK within these trade talks, demanding assurances that the draconian Online Safety Act will not cripple the operations of US-based digital platforms like Gab.

Here's the situation:

The US and UK are negotiating a significant trade deal, driven partly by the UK's desire to offset potential new US tariffs.

A major sticking point is the UK's Online Safety Act – the very legislation demanding Gab implement censorship or face crippling fines (up to £18 million or 10% of global revenue) and even potential criminal charges against individuals like me!

The US, historically protective of its tech companies (often citing principles similar to Section 230 which limits platform liability), is pushing back. They are reportedly seeking provisions in the trade deal that would prevent the UK from holding US platforms liable for user-generated content and imposing other restrictive measures mandated by the OSA.

This development is a direct consequence of the extreme overreach we've been warning you about. The UK's attempt to export its censorship regime and attack American companies is now meeting resistance at the highest levels of international negotiation.

Why This Matters:

Validation: This confirms that the OSA isn't just a threat to Gab; it's recognized by the US government as a significant impediment to international commerce and potentially harmful to fundamental principles like free expression online. The concerns raised by Big Tech companies about privacy (like scanning messages) and over-censorship mirror our own warnings.

Leverage: The UK's desire for a favorable trade deal gives the US leverage. This pressure could force the UK to reconsider or dilute the most harmful aspects of the OSA that target platforms like ours.

The Core Conflict: This highlights the fundamental clash: The UK's authoritarian drive to control online speech versus the American principle (however imperfectly applied by Big Tech) of platform freedom and user expression. Gab stands firmly on the side of free speech.

However, we must remain vigilant. While this US pressure is a positive sign, there's no guarantee the UK will fully back down. They may try to carve out exceptions, find compromises that still harm platforms committed to real free speech, or prioritize their domestic censorship agenda over the trade deal benefits. Furthermore, the US negotiators' primary concern might be protecting large corporations, potentially overlooking platforms like Gab that truly champion free speech principles.

Stay vigilant, stay vocal, stay free.

With unwavering resolve,

Andrew Torba and the Gab Team Christ is King

Brits should prepare a 72 hour 'survival kit' as Putin plots to sabotage gas pipelines and cause mass blackouts, warn spies

Fears of a plot by Russia to sabotage Britain's energy pipelines means families should pack a 72-hour 'survival kit', security advisers have warned.

As the UK pursues Net Zero environmental targets – leading to the closure of coal-fired power stations – the country has become increasingly reliant on supplies of gas and electricity from abroad in order to 'keep the lights on'.

Nearly 40 per cent of the UK's gas supply is imported from Norway, much of which comes through the single, 700-mile Langeled pipeline.

Concerns that the Russians are planning a sabotage operation have escalated since one of their spy ships, the Yantar, was detected mapping the UK's critical underwater infrastructure in the North Sea in recent months.

With the UK reported to have come close to blackouts during the past winter – saved only by emergency reserves and electricity imported undersea from Denmark – security experts have argued that British households should follow the example of the EU, which has advised citizens to pack a three-day survival kit.

This should include water, non-perishable food, medicines, a battery-powered radio, a torch, identity documents and a Swiss Army knife.

The protection of critical undersea infrastructure will form part of the Government's Strategic Defence Review (SDR) by former Nato secretary-general Lord Robertson this year.

It comes after Moscow was linked to a string of apparent sabotage incidents in the Baltic Sea in the past two years, affecting cable and pipeline links. Germany's Nord Stream gas pipelines were also sabotaged in 2022.

Separately, the Russians are also believed to have placed listening devices on offshore UK wind turbines in an attempt to track the movement of British submarines.

Meet the controversial Jewish billionaire driving Trump’s tariff policy

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, seen as the architect of Trump’s tariff policy, is under fire from allies who say he lacks basic economic knowledge and misunderstands how tariffs work, raising concerns about his growing influence on trade decisions

Of all U.S. President Donald Trump's advisors, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick is widely seen as the strongest advocate for tariffs. Some recent media reports have even described him as the architect behind the administration’s plan to impose tariffs on imports into the United States.

Even if Trump ultimately made the final decisions on which tariffs to implement, he did so with the full support of the Jewish American businessman, who until recently served as chairman and CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, the global financial services firm.

Lutnick was one of Trump’s earliest cabinet appointments and has frequently represented the administration in the media. Over the past weekend, the 63-year-old appeared on nearly every major news outlet, energetically defending the decision to impose tariffs. “The operation has happened, the patient is in bed and starting to recover,” he said.

However, some White House officials and allies of the president outside the administration have expressed concern over Lutnick’s growing influence on economic policy. Over the past month, critics have argued that his frequent television appearances reveal a poor understanding of basic economic principles and how tariffs function. Several Trump allies have privately said they worry Lutnick tells the president what he wants to hear, not what he needs to hear.

One such ally claimed that Lutnick would propose an idea in the Oval Office, then rush to the cameras to present it as if it were official White House policy. “He’s constantly auditioning for Trump’s approval,” the source said.
