If only there was some form of microblogging social media where it wasn't a single company that owned all the servers, but instead it was some kind of... I dunno, confederation of servers that all used the same protocol. Then if there's some dumb local law, locals could run their own servers, or find someone brave enough to defy the dumb law, or who knows what. Without that a single platform decides that the dumb local law is dangerous to their business and refuses to serve those users then those users have no options.

Bluesky already uses content addressing and federation.

People in Mississippi can currently visit 3rd party appviews (the user facing indexing webview/API server) like zeppelin.social, and you can self host your account server easily (PDS server).
