I'll add that after reading the article, it doesn't appear that Parler was specifically targeted, just DDoS-Guard prior to becoming their new host. Deplatforming of Parler wasn't really on anyone's radar back in November when the complaint with LACNIC was filed and I'm not under the impression they had lined DDoS-Guard up as a backup host at this point, or their downtime would have been much less after Amazon gave them the boot; still, they almost certainly would have been very tight lipped about who that provider would be. 

It just seemed like a convenient coincidence that Parler has since become a customer and will be inconvenienced by this, the extent to which is not likely to be very high as they've probably re-written any modules of their backend that weren't portable, and now have some experience with finding and deploying on a new host.

I feel this is a good example that a pen is mightier than a sword.

 

I am impress by what I read in this article and would definitely like to hear/read more, maybe coming from Ronald Guilmette?

 

Thanks all
