The CEO of Gab, a fringe social network known to attract white nationalists, conspiracy theorists, the far-right and personalities banned from mainstream platforms, says the site gained around 600,000 new users on Sunday.

Andrew Torba, a conservative programmer who launched the site in 2016, said in a post on Monday that his service had enjoyed a wave of new users and that his team added 10 new servers to cope with demand resulting from the sudden influx.
