'It's fine to use corporate platforms for journalism and activism that goes against their owners ideological biases or political-economic interests. What's the worst that could happen?'

These platforms are owned by technofascists. By choosing to publish there, when you have options, you choose to do unpaid work for fascist media;

A Journalist Reported From Palestine. YouTube Deleted His Account Claiming He’s an Iranian Agent.

YouTube offered conflicting explanations for deleting the account of Robert Inlakesh, who covered Israel’s occupation of the West Bank.

Speaking of technofascists, fun fact;

#TIL that Wix is an Israeli company;

So if you publish a website using Wix.com you're also doing unpaid work for fascistern media. If you support the #BDS movement, time to move your website.

I recommend finding somewhere to host a Free Code CMS, learning how to build a site in that (about as easy as Wix and other DataFarming free-of-charge services), registering a domain name, and pointing it at that CMS.

@strypey I am in the process of building a custom ecommerce site to help Beeja Botanicals which is founded by my friend to move away from Wix. I have been getting sidetracked by other stuff the past few months, but hopefully Wix will have one less customer in a few weeks' time

@strypey
IMO it's good so long as you publish on a safe site as well. And direct your viewers there.
Otherwise, you might be forfeiting that audience.

@strypey We should also as viewers and readers keep backups in case of such censorship.
