This is a poorly thought out comment. Hosting providers are a commodity and so they cannot de-platform you. Only a platform like Twitter can de-platform you. If a hosting provider suspends your account, you still own the domain and all your data - you'd just move it to the next host.

Besides, when there's sufficient demand, there'd be several more options for hosting, including ones that are "pro free speech". OTOH, monopolies could end up destroying individual liberty and choice.

Yeah I agree that "deplatforming" wasn't the good terminology.

You'll have to had external backups, I know lot of people are just using their hosting provider backup services.

There can be several more options for hosting (just as there's other options for a Twitter-like platform), but eventually, instead of harassing the host to suspend them, the upstream provider could be harassed to suspend the host itself. And you don't have as much choice when it comes to Tier-1 ISPs.
