Sure, but the equivalent would be to host your content on a Raspberry Pi that is not connected to the internet. What would be the point ?

True. But you could host on a Pi via Tor, as an onion site.

I don't understand the premise. Why would one expect to be able to interact with the world without any consequences ? That makes little sense, philosophically, at least to me.

Even hosting via Tor can have consequences, if the government has enough incentive.

However, practically speaking, I think the OP would probably be fine posting on AWS, as others have remarked.

Because you're not free if you can't do that.

Then you can chain Tor with other anonymity networks. Such as nested VPN chains, Orchid, or LokiNet.

Based on what I've seen, people have generally been pwned because they screwed up, and not through fundamental compromises.
