How is the network layer open when legit SMTP servers with proper SPF records are blacklisted by Google and Microsoft with no accountability. The internet is owned by these organisations. It's a fait accompli. It's only a matter of time before sites not hosted on cloud platforms become blacklisted due to the pitfalls of self-hosted certification. Jeeezus.

So long as the raw IP traffic isn't subject to broad and pervasive restrictions by the authorities, new software stacks can be freely invented and used on a worldwide basis (IPFS, for example). (Speaking of other software stacks, a few Gopher servers remain online today [1] and there's even a DECnet in operation!
