This goes to show you that even though you might have "technical" solutions to control, e.g. decentralization, eventually policy control will win if your government is motivated enough.
Take cryptocurrency for example. Yes it's decentralized and the government can't seize from the blockchain. Instead, all they have to do is ask "Do you have crypto?" and you answer truthfully or perjure yourself or risk worse consequences.
Your government doesn't need control over your technology. They have control over you. Technical and policy changes must go hand in hand. You can't use one to solve the other.
