A site takedown starts with a request from some government agency, so the first thing that come to mind is to host it in a place where every request will need to go through a tick barrier of language issues/misunderstanding/bureaucracy. But considering that you'll also need a good network infrastructure there aren't many places that meet these requirements. What about China?

The problem is that those types of places are very susceptible to bribery. So maybe you'd be immune from the U.S. government, but someone's cousin who's angry at you and has $200 to spare could very well tank your site.

China is not known for its liberal Internet policies.

China requires ID to register a domain now, so there's also a complete lack of anonymity too.

Popular Internet websites are under censure and I do not see this changing fast.
