> Client-side & server-side ISPs, cloud platforms, CDNs, payment networks, client OSs, browsers, email clients

Every single one of these things can still censor your access to content on the network whenever it wants. I do not believe the presence of a blockchain changes anything there. All it does is make speech cost money.

Payment networks are entirely irrelevant, client side ISP would need to use a port number given it's P2P which seems error prone and prohibitive. Email irrelevant. Browsers not possible given opensource chrome forks / brave.
