I suppose you could term them "harmless", as they are so blatant and their message is so easily proven to be false.

But alas, they are serious. And not all their viewers engage in fact-checking, it seems.

I find it hard to comprehend why two mature adult American women of color would engage in such behavior, and have to wonder who signs their paychecks.

I also wonder how they can sleep at night.

Does that make them dangerous?
I don't think they are dangerous?
Why Censor them? What harm can them speaking cause? They are funny, entertaining and have the thoughts of everyday Americans on their tongues. No difference than us expressing how we feel emotionally here. Only they do it on Youtube. No one is force to watch them, they would trend, because they were popular. Not anymore. Youtube hides and punishes them for their stuff and all Conservative messages on Youtube(Google)

If you can go to their WEBSITE (on the Internet) and DOWNLOAD it (again, "on the Internet") then no. If what you were suggesting was true, Gab would not be online (on the Internet).

Walmart is not required to carry every product on the market in their store, and neither is Google.

Why would the App Stores not allow a competing app to twitter?
I can go straight to Brietbart and Daily Caller too.

GAB is on the internet. Right now you can go download it and use it on the internet. No marketplace is required to carry all merchandise so Google is not required to sell it in their app store, just like Walmart is not required to carry mink coats or used cars in their store. They do not offer those items, but they are still available in the marketplace from other vendors.

You can right now start a site on the internet, you can create an app and offer it for sale, but you can not make shops carry your item for sale.

How I found them, is no longer available. Someone has taken it upon themselves to think for me. I might like to see what is going viral. Instead of hiding it.

Why can't I get a Big Mac at taco bell?
Why can't I get a new Chevy at a Ford dealership?
Why can't I buy a TV at a clothing store?

Because no store is required to carry all merchandise available in the marketplace.
