God bless them, I just hope the alphabet agencies don't start trying to make up excuses to seize anyone who doesn't conform now.
edit- Fuck they're based in Washington State, so they could be taken very easily. The past biggest example I recall is Megaupload and the foreign negotiation with New Zealand was the biggest pain in America's ass, they still caved obviously but not having that sovereign layer of protection for them to go through means this will play out only one way, got a real bad feeling about it. They probably let Epik exist long enough that everyone switches to them then they can truly flip a switch take down every conservative hosting in one swoop
You've unfortunately seen into the future. That will be their play is to plant illegal content on these websites or businesses and use that to raid them or take them offline. Even if it doesn't stick in court it will disrupt their operations and since they operate on unlimited funding by the tax payers they can do it to exhaustion.
What's happening is seriously unbelievable. People need to really take a moment to understand we are at an actual war with our government and the battlefield is the internet.

Which is why stockpiling guns isn't the be all end all. The machinations of the state are going to strangle us out long before this war becomes hot.
Like, have a few and be prepared but know there's a LOT of little battles to fight in the culture war yet
It is already "hot" they killed a poor girl for seeking answers to this corruption
