Seems the youth of Nepal managed to cork the bottle again earlier this month, when after the mass social media ban they burned down the government buildings and chased the parliamentarians out of the country.

if musk "buys" trump's untruth network and merge it with the remains or xitter, and then all the others are blocked to "save the children" nobody will say anything. maybe, just maybe, there will be a stockholders lawsuit on meta for the value dropping to zero. but hardly anything else.
Users can stop using it. Good luck to the gov banning any and all sites. People will migrate to drcentralized networks or deep web areas.
You still need a cooperative ISP to do that.
me, you, and five other schizos.
most people don't even use an adblocker.
And where do you migrate to, when laws also enforce centralized software distribution, locked down devices and a filtered internet? Pigeons? You realize, all these motions existing already today and could instantly manifest into law?
