New York (AFP) - Squeezed out of Twitter and other social media websites cracking down on hate speech, far-right activists are finding a home on a new platform that promises never to censor content.

Launched in August, Gab has become known as a safe haven for the "alt-right" movement dominated by the white supremacists who are helping fuel America's deepening polarization.

The social network currently has 100,000 members and another 200,000 on its waiting list, according to the company.

Hey jackasses---we are not the "alt right" or white supremacists, those are your labels for anyone who disagrees with your liberal hate

We are Americas who want to be heard.
