Yeah, and nobody really goes there. Their traffic is insignificant. So it's akin to standing on a soap box in the middle of a desert.
May as well hand out leaflets at that point.

what would happen if alex jones started spreading letting fans know how to get to a site he hosted down there
Or wander around wearing a sandwich board. More effective at getting your message out than having some hidden site on Tor.

Is Matt on TISM?
what would happen to google if china stopped censoring but google kept their censor code

take down jones, thats one thing. but then h3? gab? the more they force people to make competition, the more they make themselves irrelevant.

Microsoft starts blocking conservatives from using windows, they will just switch to linux
an operating system for techies would start to quickly become normal.
ISPs start blocking whole communities those communities might stop paying them for internet and set up their own communal node instead
i wouldn't mind the normalization of more user-friendly linux based OS's
Not just a banning, but an unpersoning attempt.
Most people aren't tech savvy enough to use Linux or Tor.
I wont say never
but Linux will *probably* never be mainstream

something like mint could become mainstream with kids being more and more tech savvy than their parents
we can debate if you like
but it's true
and mint itself being pretty simple
besides, what option would they have if windows blocked them
I don't think MS will block anyone
they like money too
they threatened gab
they have threatened that they monitor what you write in word
Gab is not an individual user.
Linux being technically difficult is overblown. Not everything is Gentoo install tier
did we forget that little policy change from earlier this year?
