Sounds like a good thing to ban, but I'm still wary of the exact method. ('we can ban anyone' clauses, and the idea of generic payment providers being the arbiters)
I think you're confusing the fact that people have repeatedly argued that Gab isn't white supremacist twitter with the notion that it has somehow been established that it isn't. But, of course, it is. Even Voat has better bona fides than Gab.

It's probably not just a coincidence that every time this comes up on HN, there's a Popehat thread about Gab at the same time. Here's Ken today with a telling citation to Gab's own Twitter account from earlier this year:
Unless you can provide evidence where gab says they are Nazis, they support Nazis, or you've found some advertising materials there they advertise to Nazis, you're not winning this argument. Unless you're petty enough to keep having my comments flagged.
Which is an extremely reasonable position.
(I've never heard of Gab.)
