Even if Parler moves to new servers, guess who controls the Public DNS servers everyone relies on to be able to connect to the new server? If Parler.com doesn't resolve to an IP address, nobody can visit. Truly, three companies control all electronic communications in the modern age. We should have broken them up long ago.

And all three supported Obamas version of net neutrality. This was the most salient point to be made when arguing that net neutrality as it was proposed at the time was evil and each time I made the point to a leftist or layman, they said "but Google (DNS) and Amazon (backbone) would never align themselves with each other or another company."

The defense of that monumentally stupid suggestion was always faith and trust.
