If I were really concerned about my users' rights as Moxie and Signal are, I would probably put something into my bylaws that immediately dissolves the company the second we were compelled to act against our convictions. (Sidenote: can you somehow legally destroy non-material property?)
I know they are very much against decentralisation (technially), but in order to keep the service going even in that case it would probably make sense to create dozens or hundreds of legal entities. I know it sounds like a joke, but I know for sure in real estate or meatpacking businesses you have people register companies like "Joes Sausages #1", "Joes Sausages #2", ... "#400" - mainly to get around labor laws but also to make it complicated to determine ownership.
And don't underestimate how utterly dependent our governments are on the online industries - it is todays equivalent of the railroad, and getting control of the railroads was one of the important milestones in the october revolution.
Long story short, I don't think it is quite so one-sided, and I'm going to grab some popcorn...
