How long before user-generated content and alternative forms of social media like this site or like Matrix, PeerSuite, Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, and etc. are next in the crosshairs?
Force ISPs to block it or even go over the ISPs’ heads and block it at the national level? Hypothetically, if a fascist state wants any form of resistance wiped from the web, forcing ISPs to block it or blocking it at the national level would be a good way to go about that.
I just hope that doesn’t actually happen and it stays purely as a hypothetical in the US, but blocking at the ISP level or even at the national level is one way to take something out, that’s how dictatorships like North Korea censor their media, for example.

How would they take out a federated network? That’s kinda the whole point.
