Create your own Censorship-Resistant Links for X and More!

1

X (Twitter)

Platforms like X (formerly Twitter) can block or censor links to certain sites like they recently did to Signal.me, even when those links contain important information. A link shortener or redirect may work in the short term, but sites like Bitly and TinyURL create new single points of failure when platforms block them instead. What we want to do instead is leverage unique domains, like one you may already own for your blog or business. You could also register one for free! We will then deploy a simple, free redirect function to Netlify (a free cloud hosting provider) that will redirect to your intended page for sharing on social media. This way we create an unwinnable game of whack-a-mole for sharing important information.
