- Embed this notice@lanodan @liztai @dalias There is a fuzzy line with online speech, when ISPs or VPS providers start to prevent one from hosting one's own site instead.
Due to how bungled up the design & architecture of the Internet works, that is tantamount to censorship because there remains no way to self-publish (online samizdat requires the routing infrastructure not to discriminate). It becomes not a community moderation matter, but active silencing even away from external communities (especially in places with ISP monopolies, which sometimes try to prevent hosting *any* website).
The issue is rather specific to clearnet routing.
