Web3 sounds to me like one of those soap opera startups PG talks about. They sound like a great idea when you propose them, but do people really want them in reality?
That’s what they really want. They want a system that, in their minds, won’t be subject to regulation or social pressure.
They are still mad that Reddit blocked certain groups. That parler got banned from public clouds.
Those are the things that made them “wake up” to the need for web3.
Deleting data and social accountability are important features that they find abhorrent.
A collection of NFTs got deplatformed, moderated, and even accepted accountability yesterday
But the image that is being communicated is Web3 is decentralised and impervious to the kinds of moderation we have today.
So, either nothing changes, or something changes. You can’t have it both ways.

Hahahahaha. This is the dumbest excuse, you are not immune to existing rules just “because crypto”. The likened laws don’t need to mention crypto specifically to apply, did they even stop to think for a single second before they did this?
If the crypto community wants to be taken seriously and not constantly regarded as a joke, they ought to do themselves a favour and at least try to be a bit competent.
P.S. you can have moderation without censorship. That's how Mastodon works.
