The digital battle is not lost yet. Remember Alta Vista?AOL? Palm Pilot? The current incumbents can and probably will be replaced in the future. How fast that happens depends entirely on how quickly consumers adopt the newcomers. One of the biggest mistakes Trump made was not cross posting to other services. He should be on Gab now, but he seems to be content to just sit there. I guess we will have to wait until Parler comes back, and they will. They will come back harder and stronger and in order to shut them down they will have to resort to tactics that are more akin to bullying the power company into shutting off their juice. Then things will get interesting.
In the mean time, every company with an IT department worth their salt is thinking about what they would do if Amazon or Microsoft decided to shut them off.
Have a look at rightforge.com.
I was reading up about Nord-VPN. Their servers are in Panama because the laws are very good for them there. You can find out the details why on the internet. So PANAMA looks like a place to put Parler's servers and they will be back. Now if the USA gets really nasty under Biden-Harris-Dems I suppose they can still block Parler from the USA?? But we are not near there yet. My opinion. Russia has successfully blocked some VPN services. Just find out the VPNs servers and block them all I suppose even if the VPN uses a few hundred.
Others out there are testing the waters of Internet 2.0 as a communications system without a central control point. Some pass along general guidelines of how to follow that path.
