2. We do not receive any payments or donations via
@stripe for the distribution of any products or items on their Prohibited Business List. They have yet to actually cite any examples, because none exist. If they did they would cite them.Show this thread -
3. No one is paying to access any adult content on Gab. If they are we would take action against them.
