>Is there any place on the internet capable of freedom of speech?

>hosting my own servers

You might have answered your own question here.

Or consider that a baseline, and it still may not allow as much freedom as you have in mind.

Plus I don't think there is as much risk of a search engine killing a free-speech utopia unless it was a search engine that brought it to life in the first place, or was keeping it on life support beyond it's natural healthy lifespan.

I am concerned about another problem: To justify their existence, search engines cannot simply ignore certain websites, but what they do is to make them harder to find. There many techniques for this. The average person is not aware of this. I am afraid that current and next generations will simply search for information, and will be fed erroneous ones, instead of the correct ones. This is programming at a global level; the internet as a medium has no borders, has no limits, and not all people are versed in computer science.
