- **Availability:** Make sure you or your organization is reachable outside the Big Tech ecosystem. If your organization only has a Facebook page, then people without a Facebook account cannot reach out to you. The same is true for other commercial social media. Instead, try to rely on a website you control yourself, or a social network page you can host yourself.

Censorship on corporate platforms is increasingly common, as platforms like Twitter and Facebook give in to public demand, market pressures, and pressures from government agencies. Government pressures can be covert requests to businesses, such as the White House [requesting the takedown](https://nytimes.com/2012/09/17/technology/on-the-web-a-fine-line-on-free-speech-across-globe.html) of a provocative YouTube video, or overt, such as the Chinese government requiring companies to adhere to a strict regime of censorship.

People concerned with the threat of censorship can use technologies like [Tor](../../advanced/tor-overview/index.md) to circumvent it, and support censorship-resistant communication platforms like [Matrix](../../../tools/software/social-networks/index.md#element), which doesn't have a centralized account authority that can close accounts arbitrarily.
