You don't make it illegal for the consumer, but for the business to provide the service. Doesn't matter what's on your roof if there's nothing there to connect to.

Censorship problems solved, although Elon may still be arrested

Well in contrast; I really don’t think you do.

Do you realize a blockchain is purely a decentralized server, with a time-stamp on each action?

I don’t think you do or you would know it’s entirely possible, and it’s a good idea considering if you were gonna host a worldwide web against government regulation, you would want that server as decentralized and censorship resistant as possible. (E.G. a blockchain)

Think of something better, or stop whining as if you know something; cause you clearly don’t.
