We need not just confidential computing but censorship proof computing. I don’t think the “cloud” is the model to grant either because it is centralized.

This is simply not possible. Even if you could get enough radio line of sight p2p nodes online to bypass centralized fiber backbone providers, the government in charge of the land your towers are on can still shut you down. The only censorship free computing is purely locally networked. There are no global communication channels that can't be blocked.

What do you mean by this? A cloud provider can always choose to not run a VM, how would we provide censorship proof compute?
