Seriously any centralised social network hosted in the USA, Russia, China, Australia (to name but a few) is fully traceable, can easily be censored, and can be held legally accountable.

No so easy with peer-to-peer networks or decentralised networks hosted across numerous countries. It's not impossible, but seriously centralised network = no privacy.

Yes, decentralization is the way, but it has to be aplied at the maximun level, at the ISP level. The only sustainable solution I see starts whit a decentralized internet otherwise the ISP still can deliver information to cental govs.

There are a number of aproaches being developed right now so it has plenty of potencial, and also some decentraliced VPN that works in a similar way.

There is also Freifunk, although its not a decentralized isp per se
