Creating another Cock.li : HiddenService | Torhoo darknet markets
Hello, hope all's well! I'm looking into creating a free, fully anonymous, zero-access email service (similar to cock.li, and many other gatekept services). My ultimate goals are to completely protect the privacy of all users, and of course myself as the operator to preserve the longevity of the project. My philosophy is that there can never be enough anonymous communication channels on both light and dark web, and I'm interested in contributing.
**Some Specific Areas I need Advice On:**
- Domain: Recommended registrars, TLDs, methods for maximizing operator privacy/anonymity when getting a domain (I already know about Ninjalla, but its domain options are quite limited).
- Hosting: Which server jurisdictions would offer ultimate privacy for users, especially against data requests and takedowns? I've considered Switzerland and Iceland, but wondering if there are better alternatives.
- Identity/Legal Structure: Is it feasible to operate the service completely anonymously, or would you advice it be tied to some form of legal entity? If an entity is necessary, which state/country would offer the strongest protections?
- Other Considerations: Are there other critical legal, tech, OpSpec factors that I may be overlooking? I've been a full-time developer for over 15 years now, which has taught me that I'm likely missing something
Note: This is completely not-for-profit. I physically don't WANT access to the emails of users. Open to feedback for how I could prove the legitimacy in this as well.
Thanks for your time!
Good luck!
