> Does anybody have a solution to the bigger underlying question of de-platforming and censorship on online platforms?

the still sitting president of the USA could open a channel in telegramm (no censorship at all right now), or he could use a russian service like livejournal or vkontakte (they wouldn't have a case to ban him), but I guess that's all he could do right now.

Update: he can no longer use parler, that has been removed from both app store and google play. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/parler-removed-fro...

it seems like banning platforms wholesale is the logical next step; so usage of alternative platforms might not be a solution.

As your link says, it has been removed from the Google Play store but not the App Store.

the title "...Apple App Store suspension reportedly looms". Some paranoid souls might be suspecting some level of coordination here.
