Pick any country without an extradition treaty with the US and buy rack space there.

Parler was easily nuked because its tech was amateur hour not because US cloud providers rule the internet.

Good luck getting your 100Gbps+ sustained (from their actual requirements) of bandwidth in a non-extradition country to your primary audience in the USA.

Can you link to that requirements doc? I find it hard to believe that Parler required 100Gbps to run and meet a reasonable SLA. Also you can leverage multiple non-extradition jurisdictions to help offload bandwidth requirements while providing a hot spare cell.
