That used to be true. It isn't anymore, because people are working on decentralizing the web. This makes the web uncensorable and permanent. The two most promising projects in this area are IPFS[1] and Ethereum's Swarm[2]. When we rebuild social networking and publishing on top of protocols like these, the problem this post illustrates will go away. Anyone who wants to help build these systems can email me (address in profile) and I'll try to send you to the right people and resources.
