apparently it's harder for them to get back than they thought. I guess they are now facing the equivalent of the Holywood blacklist. Dockerized setups will not help if you can't get an alternative host.

"Matze said that Parler had faced trouble in finding a new service provider, ... He also said that others had refused to work with Parler: "Every vendor, from text message services to email providers to our lawyers, all ditched us, too, on the same day." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parler#Attempts_to_return_onli...

It is probably easier to find an alternative hosting platform when you are booted from AWS because of porn. In the case of parler they also might need to migrate more data.

Their lawyers bailing gave me pause. Suggests things are substantially more serious than Amazon, Apple, Google, and Twilio suddenly finding a paying customer distasteful.

They are probably worried about the company solvency

Exactly.

Soon people will understand why it was taken down.

Something like organizing an assault on the nation's capital in order to overturn a vote?
