Activist websites are disproportionately targeted for censorship, DDoS attacks, and government takedowns. Traditional hosting providers often comply with removal requests under legal or political pressure, leaving activists without a platform at critical moments.
- Government censorship - Clearnet websites can be blocked by DNS filtering, IP blocking, and deep packet inspection. Tor .onion sites bypass all of these.
- Hosting provider takedowns - Many hosting companies remove content after receiving pressure from governments or corporations. AnubizHost operates in privacy-friendly jurisdictions and requires proper legal process.
- Operator safety - The .onion address hides the server's physical location, protecting the activist organization from physical raids.
- Visitor protection - People accessing your website through Tor are protected from surveillance that could identify them as supporters of your cause.
