But as of right now Telegram and Signal is still up, isn't it? Though they're already being slandered in the media, so you might have a point here.

To support my explanation, see for example this:

PayPal terminated Epik's account, because they refused to kick out Gab. I believe there were a couple more cases where the money people pressured companies to do things like that. My memory is getting blurry with this though, so I can't point you to the articles.

And that leads me to something even more important. Gab was not only kicked out off their domain registrar, but the owner's family was blacklisted by Visa. So the social media is actually the least of my concerns right now, the most urgent thing at the moment is regulating the banks, so they can't terminate your account for no reason. Because they will come after your money at some point. And good luck paying in cash in a middle of pandemic.

In theory the recent Office of Comptroller of the Currency rule banning financial discrimination should stop that. But I am sure the current administration will be quick to reverse it. They like to use all tools to go after their political enemies
