What we really need here is some anti-censorship technology that makes it so an authoritarian regime that tries to block its political opponents, fails. Make the ultimatum "block these accounts or we block the whole site" toothless. Have every major site using it by default so you're not just blocking Twitter but also Facebook and YouTube and Office365 and Wikipedia, and it acts as a generic VPN that allows anyone anywhere to access anything else their country tries to censor.

In theory "just use a VPN" already does this, but it should be built into the browser so it happens automatically and unsophisticated users don't have to do anything to make it happen.
