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.
The Gab domain has now been blocked for UK users
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 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.

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.
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. https://expose-news.com/2025/04/15/gab-restricts-access-to-uk-residents/
Are all the actors in on this?
If people in the UK fail to rebut tyrannical censorship, what are the chances one country after another will be kept in the dark about what’s being perpetrated on their fellow man?
