correct it me if I am wrong, but whenever I see things like "uncensorable" I laugh. Internet connections require an ISP, internet networks are governed by goverments. There is ZERO way to make something uncensorable or decentralized and all that BS. Even TOR requires someone running exit nodes.

You can make your own car and even use it until you get caught (in a city for example) but you cant use the internet without an ISP.

Only way would be if you started laying out your OWN cable but even then I am sure the goverment would have a way..

I think the idea is that bad guys would have to censor every visitor's ISP, which is a lot harder than censoring at just where it's hosted. The idea is that the latter, e.g., the way Amazon attacked Parler, won't be possible.

You can "make your own ISP." That doesn't mean people will peer / transit with you though.

How can my isp censor a specific website on TOR ? Or you mean they would just block all ip traffic that look like it’s TOR?
