Engineering the site well to stay online might be beside the point now. Parler wanted to be taken down so that they could fight this legal battle, likely with an eye on Section 230. As an added bonus, they can frame the removal as persecution.

All this is already settled law and has been litigated previously multiple times. You have to change the law in order to reclassify these entities if you want things to change. What orgs like Parler keep doing right now is spitting into the wind.
