The problem is the same thing that happened to Parler can happen to Gab from the article: Big Tech has suggested, without irony, that they start competitors. “You’re tired of Twitter? Build your own Twitter.” Of course, Parler attempted that. The moment that would-be-alternative started picking up steam, Apple, Google, and Amazon snuffed it out. (And Cicilline was MIA.)
While I don’t remember much about the subject, when all of the paler stuff went down, I tried to do some further investigating on who actually owns the internet itself. I do remember seeing articles about either a company or an organization that does actually own it or control it. I tried to do some further digging on the subject but didn’t get too far.
I’ll see if I can find those articles again and post them for everyone. Maybe we can get some help in figuring something else out.
Gab has already done much of this

I’m pretty sure gab has their own servers. I remember reading this early on and the CEO saying gab can’t get shut down for this reason.
Paler was using Amazon servers. That’s why they were shut down.
Thanks for this. Didn't understand this
Anytime.

You are right. now I set how gab is different than Parler
