Considering that people have individual freedom to do whatever they want, and companies have been ruled as people, what's the problem if companies want to shut Parler down? Oh, that's right. It was a decision folks don't agree with... an "unintended consequence" if you will.

You can still use Parlor thru their website, but I don't know who's hosting it, if not Parlor then that could be shut down.

I'm guessing the classifieds on this site will go away once online and private sales are outlawed.

It seems like conservatives are usually behind the curve, always playing defense and catching up, never on the offense.

We may be moving to ham radios and the dark web, tho ham isn't secure.
We need secret codes and decoder rings!

Seriously, I hope somehow conservatives see this coming and get ahead it in some way.

Internet service should be considered a utility, and regulated as such in this day and age. Can Cox shut down my tv because they dont like me watching fox news? Can OGE shut off my electricity because they don't like what I plug into my outlet? It should not be allowed to be shut down at an ISP level. If parler wants to put their own server up, and post/host what they want, it should be legal, short of things like child porn, etc, as it should be considered freedom of speech. If I home brew, and the water company doesnt like that, should they be able to shut my water off? I understand the whole, a company can determine how their business is used, but at some point, it becomes an infringement on inherent rights.

That was the whole point on Net Neutrality that this administration shut down. So again, another "unintended consequence" here.

I couldn’t find Gab on the Apple App Store just now.

Gab was never on the App Store. You have to access it thru internet. You can then add it as a bookmark on your home screen. Parler can be accessed the same way if you didn’t already have the app loaded. If you did already have the App you can turn off automatic app updates to keep it from being deleted...for now.
Many Republican politicians have been complaining about big tech censorship for years. Most of them have accepted large PAC contributions from them as well so it’s pretty apparent why no action has been taken.
