I would say a legal poison pill, something that builds a framework that the company is dissolved if the core tenants are violated, or that all digital assets are forfeited to a no-profit privacy group.

I know very little about this kind of stuff, but is there anything that would prevent a controlling party from striking the poison pill provisions from the bylaws?

Usually poison pills are to trip up parties without controlling interest, so I'm curious what kind of legal framework would making something like that unchangeable.
