Ask HN: Is there a need for anonymous cloud service?

3 pointsnorthfoxz20154 comments

Out of curiosity, is there a need for anonymous cloud service which trades bitcoin for usage like AWS?

I like this idea, although I don't see how it would solve the problem of providers ejecting content they disagree with. All I think it would do is allow people to shield their real identities. Sites like the Daily Stormer (which I personally find disgusting) could still be shut down by a cloud provider who disagrees with the message.

What might be really interesting is a cloud service that allows anonymous accounts, and also has a free-speech-absolutist policy (and sticks to it even when it's hard).

Like NearlyFreeSpeech.net [0]?

Interesting, thanks for the link. Their website loaded really slow for me tho, which makes me nervous when evaluating a hosting provider :-)

Sure, but it's going to be quickly abused out of existence.
