I want to fight the dystopia of Big Tech and I'm building a new fork of the Internet where everyone can have their site hosted for free and there is absolutely no behavioral data collection.
Where can I advertise my free web hosting? It's crazy that I'd have to pay to let people know that they can get something for free.
And no, there won't be any ads on your free site. I'm giving for free what others charge a yearly fee for.

Lol, that's a lost cause. The moment you set one of those up, get ready for a bunch of bad actors to shit up the websites you're hosting with enough van material to bury you in pound-me-in-the-ass prison. You will have the Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and 4 Chan. And you Will LIKE IT.
What the fuck is this mate? Explain
Are you telling me Big Tech will post CP on rivaling platforms to get rid of them?
Read the picture dude, it's a rundown on how hosting websites that aren't literal honeypots with a basis on free speech will get flooded with CP. And as a result the people who flood it will then report the site for hosting that shit as well. Easiest trick in the book. Jannies will be bribed, and won't ban all the people flooding the forum with it, or the sheer flood of it will be like putting a finger in a levee. Who are the bad actors? The picture suggests it would be glowniggers that would be doing it, due to the sheer amount of material they would post. Why would a big tech company have that on stock? Glowniggers want freedom of speech to be channeled into websites they have tabs on. Simple as.
So some blocking points out of the top of my head:
Who pays for the costs? Let's assume it's successful you'll have considerable traffic. Traffic means bandwidth. Bandwidth means bulky power hungry hardware. Bulky, power hungry hardware means $$$.
Who makes sure your servers are not used to distribute CP? (It will take days until that's the case...)
Who pays for the advertises?
Who are you for people to trust you? If anyone was trying to host a website with any sort of money transfer, what kind of securities can you provide that you're not recording the entire data traffic to collect payment- and private information?
How is your service better than existing services? Data security you say? Do you have the backing of anyone important? There are data security enthusiasts, so you should get into contact with them and discuss your idea.
... or it's literal thousands of disgusting pedophiles.
Not everything needs a conspiracy theory to make sense.
Thousands of pedophiles, posting their material all at the same time, and then reporting the fact that the images were on a freedom of speech website, targeting the webhost? Man, these pedophiles must be extremely organized in order to coordinate such a thing, makes one think they could have government level funding on that regard.
>Thousands of pedophiles, posting their material all at the same time
They're well networked. Watch a documentary about that shit. Plus they are obviously attracted by juicy options to distribute their ... contents ... without being able to be caught.
Pedophiles, like all people who intend to post edgy or illegal shit are naturally attracted to websites that enforce some freedom of speech. It's pretty straight forward desu.
>and then reporting the fact that the images were on a freedom of speech website
Who says it's the same people and not some random people who are not fucking insane?
>Man, these pedophiles must be extremely organized in order to coordinate such a thing, makes one think they could have government level funding on that regard.
You need just a bunch of emails or a primitive chat service to do something like that. It's easily possible with 90ies technology.
>They're well networked
they're FEDS
>Who are you for people to trust you?
>How is your service better than existing services?
Ok so I give something for free out of the kindness of my heart and you tell me to fuck off and you keep using Google and Facebook because they're trustworthy.
M'kay. The world wasn't ready for me afterall.
>Who pays for the costs?
I'm literally spending all my wagie paychecks to give YOU a free Internet.
My endgame is to get pats on the back, that's all there is to it.
Lol, get real. If Pedophiles used any form of internet to share CP they'd get caught faster than you can say "Get on the ground". Either you're alluding to a group of people that has ties to the state's Government, or is within the Government. Only way they'd get out of it with their hands clean.
>Do you have the backing of anyone important? There are data security enthusiasts, so you should get into contact with them and discuss your idea.
I did email a couple of scientists and Jaron Lanier. Nobody responded.
Do you have any convincing proof that it's not just degenerates?
Your explanation requires several random assumptions and considerable mental gymnastics.
Well if you're doing it out of the kindness of your heart, that's well on you. However, I would like to know how are you going to defend yourself against psychos that will use your free speech platforms to post CP in order to incriminate you, the webhost owner.
>Ok so I give something for free out of the kindness of my heart and you tell me to fuck off and you keep using Google and Facebook because they're trustworthy.
>M'kay. The world wasn't ready for me afterall.
No need to get salty, I'm just asking the questions that all potential users are gonna ask themselves.
>I'm literally spending all my wagie paychecks to give YOU a free Internet.
>My endgame is to get pats on the back, that's all there is to it.
Under the assumption that nothing in this world is free, I don't trust you, random stranger on the internet. Maybe you have pure intentions, but I don't click on the pop up that proclaims that I've just won an Ipad either, so I'm gonna pass.
You think the authorities are better at their jobs than they are though.
Technology and borders make those things complicated.
Well there's meetups etc. Go there. Maybe your idea doesn't suck as much as I think it does, but unless you can solve the CP issue it's dangerously stupid to do what you intend to do.
Holy fucking shit, I must be talking to one of the densest people around; or a person intentionally being this dense. You know where we are posting, right? A place where the FBI has literally sent info on "credible threats" within other countries to get them arrested. I remember the last Fiasco in which an Argentinian on Any Forums was saying he was going to shoot up a city near him, and the FBI figured out his address and sent it to the local authorities. Caught him before he could start a happening.

And you say they're incompetent?
Well, I could make it so that you get free web hosting if you're an individual who doesn't make any profit and your site is under 20mb in size. Companies and people who want MySQL database access will have to pay. The free plan also doesnt include 24/7 FTP access, but your site goes through my checkup first every time you want to update it.
This is a win-win.
How much effort and technology do you think does it take to evaluate user generated reports of Any Forums?
They're literal emails being sent to the outlook of mr. fbi #1 maybe even and his colleague mr. fbi #2.
Then they take a look at it, eye ball it if really something is going on and write another email to whomever it concerns.
Sounds like something tech savvy people would feel more comfortable doing with a Raspberry Pie in their own homes.
You got any proofs behind how the FBI gathers information off of people and sends it to "whom it may concern"?
Of course not, but they, as everyone, take the path of the least resistance.
I would set it up like that. User generated reports would be comprised of a copy of the post, a link to the post, the IP and date of the post.
You don't really need more.
Maybe a function to highlight all posts by that IP address for an in depth analysis. If you want to be fancy you even have dynamic IPs nailed down to the physical access and have already generated a long term history.
@ mr FBI reading this: If you don't have those features you should definitely get them.
It's not free though. But yes in principle you're right.
This is about sending a message, user.
Aside from Any Forums, do the powers that be have THAT much interest in small IBs??
Just so you guys know, I'm making a tv show about this topic and I want it on Netflix.
Do you think the glowing ones will get me for exposing them in a fictional story?
A thousand times yes. Put two and two together. What happens when you create a forum where people can talk about practically anything, and share practically anything without anyone "Shutting it down" before enough people can read it? Where we could talk about what the government's been doing lately, its dirty laundry, Big Corp's dirty laundry, and other verboten topics without it getting pruned by jannies/being recorded by glowniggers? And then there's the possibility of people with similar ideologies being able to converse with each other without shitflinging; and hell, even being able to coordinate get togethers to talk about changing the local government. That sort of stuff scares Glowniggers/Big Corpos and their stooges.
And as such whenever a new freeze peach website gets set up, it will inevitably be flooded with CP, and then reported for not being able to delete all the CP in time; claiming that it is hosting CP against the rules it set up before hand.
I have a good example for you. I don't remember the exact domain but it is what comes out if you multiply Any Forums times two.
The site was done by someone like yourself - a defender of data privacy - and to no surprise to fucking anyone: It became a popular website for pedophiles and neo nazis. I believe the New Zealand mosque shooter posted there.
(At that point the original owner stepped down and possibly gave the site to the fbi.)
I don't even feel like checking any more, but last time the site was filled with obvious pedophile, but technically legal content.
The people there filled countless threads with that shit and while the mods have the open CP distribution somewhat under control, you can bet your sweet butt that they're distributing their porn somewhere. That place could be your server. If they find your server they will tell each and every one of their friends about it.
