So what happens if a US government entity issues Protocol Labs a cease and desist order (they are the YC-funded, Palo Alto California based creator of IPFS)? Do they just roll over and go out of business? The network might be decentralized, but the company and people behind it are not.

What do you expect them to do? Hardcode their clients to ignore that certain CID? That obviously won't work for a whole host of reasons.

That Uniswap UI is out there and literally nothing can stop it.
