With companies like Microsoft, Google, Silicon Valley, Twitter, etc. shitting on free speech, now those people getting deplatformed are starting to fight back. In 2017 after Unite the Right, the Daily Stormer got pulled from GoDaddy, Google, Tucows, DreamHost, etc. until they found a host that'll stick in Feb. 2018. Stormfront also went down, but their users could still access the site through localhost. Eventually, Don Black won his lawsuit against Network Solutions who then put the site back up, and that was that.
But then came 2019 and that was when the shitstorm really blew over, but this time they went after the *chans. 8chan got kicked off their host following El Paso, so they tried the Daily Stormer approach at first, failed, so they had to improvise. As of currently, Ron is about to release Project Odin, which is a new Tor alternative that'll prevent DDOS attacks on the host level and he's currently working on a new DDOS prevention tool for his clearnet site.
You also have alternative platforms, like Gab and Bitchute. These have had limited success, but in 2018 after Pittsburgh, WrongThink, PewTube and Gab went down, with only Gab surviving the purge. Several other sites have cucked, like the Rootbocks/GoyFundMe guy who's now Antifa, or are dead like Vidme or are in the process of bending the knee to anti-racist organizations like Hope Not Hate, such as Bitchute.
As of right now, the left and corporations have been mostly successful at preventing the fringe right from staying online, but this small group of people fighting back against censorship have had their successes too. Like in 2017 during the Net Neutrality rulings when Ajit Pai told the Supreme Court point blank that Comcast has never censored content and that it was those same Big Tech oligarchs like Google that engaged in censorship who shilled for it, ironically enough, even mentioning the Daily Stormer by name. In 2018 you had the James Damore controversy and the FaceBook Cambridge-Analytica scandal, where Diamond and Silk testified in court about censorship on the platform. Eventually, Zuckerberg backtracked and allowed white nationalist content but not "white supremacist" content and bent the knee. Also that same year, Jared Taylor filed a lawsuit against Twitter for banning his account and won. And you had the YouTube headquarters shooting.
But as for 2020, if ICANN being handed over to an international body like the UN under the late Obama administration wasn't bad enough, you now have our new president Donald Trump trying to repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which if successful, will put the final nail in the coffin for internet freedom as we know it. Even Joe Biden has endorsed this.
So despite all the pushing on both sides, it seems one side is going to win in the end. The struggle continues as of right now, but it's unclear who's gonna win.
