What is the minimum age to use Gab?
Last updated June 17, 2026
Gab requires users to be at least 16 years old to create an account, per its Terms of Service. Users under this age are not permitted to sign up.
Why age matters
Most social media platforms set a minimum age of 13 (the minimum under COPPA, the U.S. children's privacy law). Gab's 16-year minimum is a slightly higher bar, reflecting the platform's content and community, which includes adult political discussion, news, and commentary.
Content on Gab
While Gab's free speech platform allows a wide range of content, users are responsible for what they post and access. Parents concerned about their children's online activity should monitor their internet use across all platforms, not just Gab. The platform is intended for adults.
