## Quote — verbatim

> The way Akash network operates is self-moderation. That means providers on the Akash network choose who they want to serve... as long as there's a provider that's willing to serve Parler, Parler can run on Akash. But if there are no providers... that website won't be served on Akash.

His standard answer to "what if something really bad runs on Akash and can't be taken down."
