How nice would it be if humanity united together and formed a non-profit organisation like ICANN that would run an IDentity+social network service with ability for people to plugin their extra features (like photo album, blog, things/services they sell etc)... As a central body it can still retain the ability to shutdown ID of non-acceptable content like child porn and dangerous propaganda. I’d happily donate to have such an unbiased body.

Non-acceptable content will always become censorship. Freedom of speech comes with a cost.

If I make criticisms about something or someone's actions, is that "non-acceptable" content? During these discussions, the lowest common denominator is used, but the reality is that definitions change or people try to expand the definition to include what one does not like or agree with. The price for free speech and expression comes a great price with many risks, but it is worth it. We have seen centralization fail time and time again with platforms like Facebook and Youtube censoring (demonetizing) unfavorable opinions or ideas. > I’d happily donate to have such an unbiased body. As soon as you start picking, choosing and expanding what is acceptable and what is not, it is no longer unbiased.
