NNTP servers. usenet is distributed, anyone can host a server and mirror the content.

Can't your isp just shut you down if you're on usenet? And isn't it limited to people with the same isp? Forgive me if I'm wrong I haven't used usenet since mailer days

Your ISP can always shut you down, but I doubt they would for usenet, most ISP used to host their own usenet servers.

You are not limited to people with the same ISP, usenet servers communicate and replicate posts between each other. If we had something like alt.politics.theDonald the people hosting the servers could decide to not replicate the group, just like any host could block any site.

It wouldn't be perfect, just an option.
