The internet is sorely missing a layer of infrastructure for communities, that allow entities to create, nurture and profit from communities, but not be able to rug pull previously delivered functionality and community provided content down the road. Communities need to be able to gracefully fork if they need to.
Besides protecting a community's investment, this would better align the short & long term profit interests of corporations with their communities.
It's clear that ethics, values and internet protocols need more alignment. The open source community, their licenses and tools, are a good example where similar issues have been (and continue to be) hashed out.
