It's not a simple proposition for someone who is aggressively deplatformed.
You depend on other companies to exist on the internet and these companies don't have to do business with you. At minimum, you need a domain, you need a place to put your servers, and you need an ISP. For a business to not fail, you also need a way to earn revenue. Each one of these is a pressure point.

I would have the right, however, to stand outside the town hall and carry on saying whatever I liked. If I was inciting hatred or violence, the people outside would also become annoyed and I'd be spoken to and told to stop, generally by someone in uniform.

If they can do it while being constantly hounded by publishers and DRM enforcers who have unlimited money and drive to strike them down, a random smart group of people can do it too.
