Well, at least that it's an SV monopoly.
If the reason that so many businesses are cutting service and not just to Parler is that, in the wake of the Capitol attacks corporate counsel have taken note of the law on knowing material support to terrorists, which includes supplying essentially any service when you know of it's use in connection with a wide array of federal criminal offenses that are designated as “terrorism”, then there is a monopoly denying them service, and it’s the monopoly on legitimate force held by the US government.
