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).

Good point. They removed the DNS entry. So that's one tool.

Looks like solutions like Tor, I2P might be the next frontier. If it weren't for the double standards, Twitter and Facebook would have been deplatformed by now.

Maybe that is the silver lining that we move to a more decentralized or at least more private internet.

I think VPN's can bypass ISP blocks.

In hindsight, I should have written the question better. I was trying to ask from the standpoint of website operators.

In other words: Is anything stopping the ISPs of Gab, Poal, etc from deplatforming the sites?
