Sovereignty, privacy and censorship resistance will only be used by those willing to learn, those of us who care.
Even when we build on an open protocol and FOSS, it's just a matter of time until a cheap credit funded venture runs the "Embrace,Extende, Extinguish" playbook.
WhatsApp did it with XMPP, Google did it with IMAP and HTML.
