Necessity is the mother of invention. Fortunately what's needed is already invented, but the motivation to push 'normal' people there hasn't. In particularly decentralized techs, TOR, and other technologies are fully robust against these actions.
Our inability to push "normal" people onto these things is precisely what will kill us. Tor needs a massive anonymity set to work properly. If people don't use it, we are all weakened. It also gives the corporations economic leverage: they can just ban Tor exit nodes and take the small loss instead of being forced to connect.
