This is concerning for all non-mainstream social network apps that allow user-generated content. Google is essentially punishing Gab for the behavior of their users, not for anything they've actually done as a platform. If this trend continues, the only social network apps allowed will be those that uphold the same type of overbearing, politically-correct censorship policies that Google's own sites already employ.

What's their next target, reddit and 4chan apps? Twitter is full of racists and Nazis as well.
