The Pirate Bay Launches Uncensored Blog Hosting


In a long battle for free Internet, TPB (The Pirate Bay) launched a hosted blog without censorship. Hosting is called Baywords , which in English sounds like a “bay of words” :) This service is intended to become a safe haven for bloggers who want to write whatever they want, without fear of being closed and losing an account with their hosting blog.

Pirate Bay is known for protecting freedom of speech on the Internet. That was the motivation to start hosting.

Brokep (Brokep), one of the founders of the site, said that the idea to start hosting blogs came when a blog of one of his friends was closed by WordPress, due to links to material protected by copyright.

This, of course, diverged from the Pirate Bay philosophy of “uncensored internet” and they, without a doubt, launched their own hosting of Baywords blogs based on the wordpress engine.

On the main page of Baywords Brokep wrote: “Many blogs have been closed for unwanted thoughts and ideas. We will not do that. Our goal is to protect freedom of speech and your thoughts. Until you break the Swedish laws, we will defend him. ”

In response, Matt (Matt Mullenweg) from Wordpress stated that he supported Baywords, but assured that Wordpress.com would never close the blog for publishing deviant ideas and thoughts.

"Wordpress.com supports freedom of speech and does not close blogs" for unwanted thoughts and ideas. In fact, we are blocked in several countries because of this. However, as a company located in the United States, we must comply with US laws. This means that if the main purpose of the blog is the distribution of illegal material, it is not good for Wordpress.com, ”said Mat.

Baywords is working on expanding the functionality and is going to include support for domain redirects and improve statistics. There is no advertising on the service now, but Brokep said the advertisement will be embedded in the design of the blogs later to cover the costs.

This is not the first time that Pirate Bay launches a service through which people can publish whatever they want without censorship. They have already created a hosting of pictures and are planning to launch a youtube competitor .

Those who are going to transfer their blog to Baywords can use import compatible with all popular blogging platforms.
