I can empathize with this line of thinking but its incredibly unimaginative. Censorship is a symptom of a larger problem and users reliant upon something that intentionally abuses them, like Facebook, is a different symptom of the same problem. To me that larger problem is centralized information ownership and people shouldn't trust it.

This is the compelling motivator of decentralization.

Decentralization isn't blockchain, web3, or whatever. Blockchain is third party storage.

In a decentralization scheme data resides at destinations. Nobody owns it but the destinations. Nobody observes it but destinations. There is no third party censorship.

The only users that have to suffer third party censorship are influencers and broadcasters who don't want decentralization.
