To a certain degree - though practically the bar to entry is very low to get your ideas onto the 'net. You do need access to a networked computer, but beyond that... While it's true as you say that Medium / Github / Youtube etc. can take what you post down, they do so with some risk that there will be public outcry. That doesn't prevent them from handwaving that away with reference to laws requiring them to shut you up, but at least it makes it harder.

The only way to avoid censorship is to build systems that aren't able to be censored.
