Then it is a single court order and 3 people agreeing on the same decision which is quite easy to make when it has to made at gunpoint. The actual solution has been known for ages: decentralization, federation, peer-to-peer. pretty much what the internet was designed to be.

Not if the 3 entities reside in different countries/jurisdictions. > decentralization, federation, peer-to-peer. pretty much what the internet was designed to be. While I agree with you from the theoretical standpoint, it's been already shown that neither users nor providers care about that. A federation is not by any means easy to maintain (just look at the amount of work spent in keeping e-mail relatively free from spam and usable). So, either the federation in question is small enough that you can keep it under control or you're better off researching a fully decentralized system that is resilient to all the problems all other services have (doesn't sound easy to me).
