But he's not on their servers. They can't budge him off anything like Parler. They don't even have an app to push off. It's a website designed like an app. Any phone can get the icon for Gab in their phone. My point is he is un -deplatformable. Not possible. Writer said he was deplatformed. Nonsense.
Removing them is irrelevant. One can get the app on their phone and it works fine. This isn't Parler. The intent of deplatforming is to kill an app. There is no deplatforming it for that purpose. It works and has an app icon that works. Think we are parsing the meaning and intent of an action. Deplatforming does not harm Gab. If one wants it they can still get it.
Gab.ai was deplatformed by Go Daddy and they came back as Gab.com on Epik. The Gab app is still usable on Android and iOS, true, but propinquity due to being removed from the app stores causes a decline in use with mobile users which is a significant part of the market.
That's exactly why there were so may performance issues when Amazon shut down Parler. Gab had to build out a ton of extra capacity to meet the new demand.
This is a great example of the free market working, and it's pretty interesting to watch it all unfold.

The App and Play Stores are platforms which Gab was removed from, hence, de-platformed. Presence elsewhere is irrelevant.

A lot of normal people go to the app stores, and if they don't find what they want that is the end of their efforts.
I concur with that statement. If they don't get My Pillow at Bed Bath and Beyond then that's the end of their journey.

Wrong. To "deplatform" is to remove from a platform.
