Gab uses its own server hardware now to protect from getting its site deplatformed.

Is anything stopping Internet providers from cutting off their services?

Maybe it's a good time to start a web hosting company that has a permissive Terms of Service (and sticks to it).

There really needs to be backlash by customers every time an ISP pulls shit like this.

I strongly dislike facebook, and I see it as an incubator of extremism. But it's insidious for a corporation to choose who I can do business with on the Internet. I'm paying the ISP to keep the equipment running, not to go out of their way to be snoopy busybodies. If I were that Idaho ISP's customer, I would have called them and given them shit over this.

It's harder to generate an uproar if the ISP is refusing to do business with the site in question. (i.e. if Facebook's Internet provider said "we're not going to provide a connection for your servers anymore")
