I got the feeling tech geeks aren't as intelligent as their online display of arcane language and code mastery makes us believe... or perhaps they just don't think out of the box enough. Why is self-hosting through distributed (or federated) services still not being done on a large scale for such a thing as insurgent anarchist sites? Also when Wordpress was still big I had a few radical blogs put up there and they never got shot down. It was possible to log in through Tor and I still didn't go to jail for running these sites.

Let's look at how pirate sites like TPB has managed to stay up all these years... they didn't had it always easy and they literally had to move their hosting to like the Bahamas at some point I think. The big data servers in Netherlands are all controlled by the NSA... the country's one of Europol's and NATO's bastions. Doesn't matter how NL is "liberal democratic"; that's just a nice political cover for keeping the people pacified, and HELL this is a pacified society over there. Clandestine squats got raided and shut down with near-zero opposition for years.
