Doubt we will go back to those. Crackdowns on encryption and free platforms always precedes advances in the same areas. For example, when an encryption protocol is cracked, it motivates the encryption community to develop a better version.
Same goes for crackdowns on open communication. Expect to see some new decentralized/privacy technologies appearing over the next couple years.
A decentralized messaging & communication platform would be amazing at this point. I am fully expecting them to go after Poal, Kiwifarms, chans, etc.
Matrix. Aether. Jami. And perhaps Holochain.
They exist. The problem is, relatively few people use them.
I doubt they'll come after Poal. It's not big enough yet to be a threat.
