2) #Hillary lost voters across all demographics and races save one: young educated urban women.

    Agreed. The vision for Pjuu has technically been both from the start but I've focused more on privacy, I guess free speech is easier to sell to people than privacy as there doesn't need to be as much trust.

    I wouldn't like an AI monitoring my posts. That's aids surveillance, not free speech or privacy. Gab, isn't for me.

    I have a feeling that there is a big budget behind gab: they are spending much on promotion and that is how they got so many users so soon. Still trying to figure out how #IndianGab became so big so quickly with so many popular Twitter account joining it for no apparent reason except that others are joining it.

    @Johnnynull, They had to close some American exchanges for crossing percentage reduction limits (5%). Indian exchanges lost more than 6% before regaining.

    When do you call a crash, a crash?

    Focus on privacy is more important than focus on free speech.
    For a website, free speech depends upon privacy, not vice versa.

    @mukt I agree. Privacy over arches everything. It just confuses me as I said how these other sites take off when they don't seem to be thinking about the the fundamental problems.

    Gab is almost designed from the ground up (it would seem) to be a marketing machine/selling user info. In addition to the paid "no ads" option, the thing's built to be a money maker.

    Some of the bigger names that joined Gab have a pretty big following. No surprises there.

    That's very true. I wonder if it's been designed to try and fill a gap if Twitter ends up failing?

    @mukt There's something like 31 exchanges in the US. If it's not NYSE or NASDAQ, it doesn't matter much.

    My bad!
    "The suspension" was actually a "trading halt" for futures for S & P 500 Index. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/as-stock-futures-plunge-heres-what-it-takes-to-trigger-circuit-breakers-2016-11-09

    Yeesh. Got my approval for Gab. The privacy policy confirms my suspicions.
