A political goal worth pursuing is banning "Israeli dual-citizenship" in countries that allow it, and charging citizens who have participated in the IDF with terrorism.

I don't like to be that guy, however if we play with your idea, there are some issues you will need to consider.

Centralization If we ban centralization then IRC, Signal, Xenforo, vBulletin, you name it will be forbidden as well. There is a reason why we always see some degree of centralization. Federation is tricky to get right from a technical point of view. Even when you have federation, each unit in that "web" will usually have a centralized moderation team and administration.

Proprietary Sometimes, spam/abuse is fought with the help of obscurity. In other words, service providers will hide exactly how they detect spam to prevent spammers from adapting and bypass their technique. Even Signal does this. They have a small proprietary piece of code, specifically designed to fight spam/abuse. The rest of their code is open source as far as I know. Can you suggest a comparable alternative?

Commercial Do you mean that they at most should be non-profit? And if so, why?

You were right the first time. Not to defend Musk's populist tirade, but I was talking about how he and others in power are using these platforms to inorganically amplify propaganda.

I'm not a free speech absolutist and I do not believe libel should be allowed. But this is about more than that just one person defaming others.

Joe Biden was very pro-Israel as well and paid handsomely by the Zionist lobby, of course. They are both scum. There are successful politicians who haven't taken AIPAC money, Bernie Sanders being one of them. But he didn't manage to take the presidency.

If I was still a child and had parents like that, I would cry.

There is also the issue of companies pinky-promising that they won't track you but still call home.

But if no other alternatives are available, this is good to know.

Thanks for the suggestion, it looks promising. MX5 has only 2 seats, but maybe one of the larger models is good too.

That clearly doesn't work, lol.
