At #enigma2017, @mencher talking about "democratization of censorship" and @briankrebs case. Take away=defending small sites is very hard.
This is why platform policies are so important. Not everyone has friends at Google. Around the world, dissidents get DDOS'ed. /1 #enigma2017
Basically, if you're a small dissident group, you *have* to be on Facebook or Google platforms to avoid being censored via DDOS. #enigma2017

Yep. Dissidents have no choice to "not use Facebook/Google" if they don't like TOS. Literally no choice. #enigma2017https://twitter.com/EthanZ/status/826849794551316480 …
zeynep tufekci added,
what are alternative large platforms to google/fb/twitter that aren't as vulnerable to DDoS as small sites? what's the solution?
I don't know really know any, basically.
