How Silicon Valley destroyed Parler

Its more that nothing they do can overcome the fact that everyone has blacklisted them. You can't run a site on the internet without having ISPs and DNS registers on your side at least. Even if they rehost somewhere else they will just be hit with the next level of blocks and have wasted the money rehosting.

Again, TPB, Sci-hub and many others have done it for decades. It's nothing new.

The freaking stormfront is still up, so I doubt Parler will not find a way too. The question is what fraction of their users will they lose over it?

Via a tor hidden service iirc. This would seriously limit how many users they can have

No, it's on the open Web.
