A social media company is defending itself after it appeared that the suspect in Saturday's shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, which reports say left 11 dead, was active on the platform.

The website Gab.com, which describes itself as "The Home Of Free Speech Online," rejected claims it was responsible for the shooting after it confirmed that the name identified in media reports as the suspect matched the name on an account on its platform.

"Gab.com's policy on terrorism and violence have always been very clear: we [have] zero tolerance for it. Gab unequivocally disavows and condemns all acts of terrorism and violence. This has always been our policy. We are saddened and disgusted by the news of violence in Pittsburgh and are keeping the families and friends of all victims in our thoughts and prayers," the website said in a statement.
