Imaging for a moment all non-company-mail-servers would block all company-mail-servers (like gmail). Would that be a good idea?

Every James Bond movie with Daniel Craig is crap; even Die Another Day was better.
I’m against the defederation. The internet and the www are based on the idea of connection.
A webserver listens on port 80 or 443. Neither port can be claimed by a normal user (no port below 1024 can). But yes if you manage more than your own user on a desktop AND these other users are not allowed to start programs on their own THEN a firewall can be helpful; but this is not a normal situation for a desktop-client, isn’t it?
It has gone a long way from a bus to a p2p.
So just close the ports (or more precise: Do not open them, as "closed" is the default for most software on Linux).
For what you need a firewall on a desktop-client?

To slightly correct myself: The congress would need to initialize it and it was used before: For the 21 amendment (which ended the prohibition).
You can even change the constitution by a referendum (never happend before, but you could).
I doubt he does.
