Does this extension give any party the power to unpublish not-legally-allowed content?

I have no idea. But I would assume they would comply with the law in order to not get sued?

One person made the extension. It wouldn't take much for a company to threaten a lawsuit to take the extension out of operation.

Yup. That's why I don't post my SSN everywhere. A single data server with all the comments without any moderation won't survive. But a group of data servers with different rules and many entry points via extensions or websites, can survive.

Yep, it's possible in theory. Comments are signed with ed25519 and the author can sign a request to delete the comment.
