> But when he goes to another network (Parler) it's shut down with 24hrs notice by Amazon. To anyone who's the least bit of a political dissident, alarm bells should be screaming in your ears. If a handful of tech execs can (and will) do this to the US president, what chance would you stand against them, or anyone, if they want to silence you? Your question is weirdly lacking in context. There was an attack on Congress, whose nastiest bits were openly planned on Parler. It's not like these companies just suddenly decided to cut ties because they didn't like Trump's views. They've actually been extremely tolerant of him, giving him policy exceptions left and right (e.g. if he wasn't the president, he'd probably have been banned from Twitter years ago). > Would it be possible to host your political views on any commercial hosting vendor in this case? Is running a server at home enough, assuming you can avoid DOS somehow? Would you have to start your own ISP, and if so, could your ISP be kicked off the backbone? > I'm interested in this as a technical (not political) question: is there any way to speak online if big tech decides they don't want you to? Obviously, yes. Donald Trump has a website (https://www.donaldjtrump.com/ https://www.donaldjtrump.com/), and it's still up. He can speak online there.
