In the wake of the worst anti-Semitic massacre in U.S. history that claimed the lives of 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue, five technology companies – PayPal, GoDaddy, Medium, Stripe, and Joyent – have taken action against the social network platform Gab.

The suspect, 46-year-old Robert Bowers, appears to have a history of posting anti-Semitic speech on Gab, an alternative to Twitter that bills itself as "defending liberty and free expression online," and has become a haven for far-right figures like Milo Yiannopoulos – banned from Twitter for what the company called "inciting or engaging in the targeted abuse or harassment of others" – conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, white nationalist Richard Spencer, and the United Kingdom's far-right Britain First organization.

PayPal confirmed the ban in a statement to The Verge, saying: "The company is diligent in performing reviews and taking account actions. When a site is explicitly allowing the perpetuation of hate, violence or discriminatory intolerance, we take immediate and decisive action."

On Sunday evening, Gab's Twitter account sent a screenshot of a message from GoDaddy saying the web hosting and domain registry company was suspending Gab.com as of Monday at 9 p.m. ET due to "numerous instances of content on your site that both promotes and encourages violence against people." That content, GoDaddy said in the message, violates section 5 of its terms of service.

Later that evening, Gab claimed it was also kicked off of Medium. A Medium spokesperson told Fox News that the company does not comment on individual accounts that have been found in violation of its rules.

Not long after the shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue, Gab released a statement of its own on Medium saying that it immediately cooperated with law enforcement authorities and that it "unequivocally disavows and condemns all acts of terrorism and violence."

The platform, which claims 800,000 users in its community and 9 million visits per month, also posted a link to its user guidelines, which prohibit "calling for the acts of violence against others." The site also sent a tweet noting it was getting 1 million hits an hour all day, which prompted a backlash of its own.

Late Saturday, Gab posted a screenshot of a notice it received from Joyent, a cloud hosting company, which said the social network had violated its terms of service.

That same night, Gab also said that Stripe, a payment processing company, had suspended it pending an investigation. That investigation, according to Stripe, could take a week.

This is not the first time that Gab has been sanctioned by various technology firms. In August 2017, Google removed Gab from Google Play for violating its hate speech policy. Apple similarly prohibited Gab from the App Store for hate speech violations.

On its Twitter feed Sunday, Gab hit back at the sanctions, went on the attack against Facebook and Twitter, and called on President Trump to act on what it described as "direct collusion between big tech giants."

On Sunday, Gab's chief technology officer reportedly resigned. According to post shared on Twitter, he said: "The attacks from the American press have been relentless for two years now and have taken a toll on me personally."

The company denies any link between what users post on Gab and the real-world violence that unfolded in Pittsburgh.

As recently as Sunday, there was a post about "white genocide" with a comment saying "If Jews have their way, whites will be eliminated." The site also had users with anti-Semitic names, such as "JewsDid911" and "JewsRunTheWorld."

As of Monday morning, Gab was not available for users to log in and a message on the site said it was "under attack" but working to get back online and transition to a new hosting provider.

Fox News reached out to Joyent for comment and will update this story as needed. Stripe said it cannot comment on individual users due to privacy concerns and referred Fox News to its terms of service here.
