Sunlight is the best antiseptic...

OK, I hate what GAB represents, but it is good to see media reporting on this. Shit like that can't really live in a "normal, polite" society. They can't thrive in open media, at least not yet. They only survive in darkness and secrecy.

Much like Brietbart, InfoWars, etc, displaying the truth about them costs them advertising revenue and opens their evil up to public view.

In the end, we depend on decent people to stand up and not support shit like that.

and its effect on the community. But usually, when you hear the sunlight antiseptic quote it's someone defending a platform or venue that supports hate speech along with the hate-mongers.
