Hello friends.There are people in our country who are imprisoned for their political views. I want to make a new social media site or forum with privacy for these peoples. I do not want to share the information of my members with the judicial authorities of any country. Do you think offshore hosting is enough for privacy? What are your suggestions?
 
Long story short, depending on the level of splash on the world with your views. No
 
Don't put your real WHOIS details obviously
Use crypto as payment. Use a burner wallet, not a exchange one, not anything that can tie back to you.
use mixers to get the $ into that burner wallet. (FYI, 1+1 = 2, crypto leaves traces everywhere, don't be stupid and just buy $10 crypto and send $10 into mixer, and receive $10 in burner, that's still easy to trace..)
Dont ever log in with your actual IP, find ways to blur all your footprints tied back to you :)
You are probably using Google Chrome and Gmail right? de-google yourself. (Check out Proton or tuta)
 
Sure, setup a server with NO logs, you can not share what you do not have in regards to users IP and so on.
 
No it's not! Off shore hosting does not mean automatically they won't cooperate with authorities even though they claim so.

For optimal OPSEC you need bulletproof hosting and real bulletproof hosting is expensive!

Furthermore you need to register your domain and hosting with crypto.

Preferably from a laptop encrypted with veracrypt, connected to a local wifi spot behind a logless VPN which again you paid for in crypto.

Don't send BTC straight away, it's traceable. Convert your BTC to Monero, which btw if Monero is available as payment at the host choose that as it's untraceable, if not convert back to BTC so they cant trace the btc trail to you even better if you have a hardware wallet with Tor implemented.

Of course your server IP is behind a reverse proxy like Cloudflare and you never use your own details or Gmail. Use an encrypted mail like proton or tutanota.

There are more tricks but that is the basic how I would set it up if there was any risk.
 
I think you need to divide somehow 2 points. On the one hand you have hosted solution and on the other hand you have privacy solution.
I recommend concentrating on the privacy related solutions.
