Darknets like Freenet and GNUnet have been tried, and failed to become fast enough. Today's appstores will ban their apps for hate speech, while FBI & co will flood them with pedo content. The Deep State wants and created Big Tech and other oligopolies that they can control, unlike a million small actors. I'm not so optimistic about a technological solution to a political/criminal problem.
Yes and?
The more the big platforms shoot themselves in the foot, the more other platforms will eventually be taller than them.
If you think that the next generation of platforms will be susceptible to such vagaries as laws, you haven't been paying attention.
I think we're a couple years out from seeing a PRACTICAL distributed hash social network that NOBODY will be able to bring down or even control.
Imagine usenet but stripped of all control. It will be fucking glorious.
