For the second time in the past 12 months, crypto exchange Coinbase has banned conservative-leaning social network Gab.com.
It has closed the venture’s merchant account along with the personal account of Founder and CEO, Andrew Torba. Coinbase joins a long list of companies, including Medium, PayPal, GoDaddy and Stripe, that have distanced themselves from the site.

Gab.com has come under fire for being the favoured social media platform of the extreme-right and neo-Nazis. It gained mainstream media attention after it emerged that Robert Bowers, the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting suspect, was a user.
