I'm actually seeing exactly this here in the EUSSR.

For example when GB's regime tries to kill 4chan - even they have no
legal standing aginst them at all.

Or EUSSR's current attempts to kill Xitter (petty Napoleon already had
their FR office raided recently) I wouldn't be surprised if they're
attempting to force ISPs to block them by firewalls. (which would give
Starlink a mega sales boost).

In the longer run, the best aproach (if one can afford it) seems to be
massive diversification across many different countries and self-healing
distributed infrastructure.

No government is trustworthy.
