Amazon, Apple and Google Cut Off Parler

This is the winner. I completely agree and see this going exactly here.

The net result will be that this end to end encryption becomes a terror for all governments - even ones that ride to power using these tools.

This means that the pressure to add backdoors or even front doors to this kind of content will win out. I'll assume that 10 years is enough time for that?

I really cant see any solution other than embracing dystopia.

There will be pressure to add backdoors, but even without them it's not a complete loss — police methods used since time immemorial are able to get information on private groups (undercover infiltration, confidential informants, plea bargains, etc.)
