It's a limited solution at best. You can't win a tech arms race with the very people who control the core infrastructure, write the laws and run the police. Just ask the pro-Democracy protestors in Hong Kong.

You are so right!!!! Everyone is like Elon is the richest man! Bezos is the richest! The richest government scares the NSA, not these poor rich people.

That wasn't a tech arms race, that was military & police domination.
We have a heavily contested information space, & so far we are still not an authoritarian state. It seems defeatist I'm extremely to say it's not worth trying to build a better less manipulable less privately controlled information space. It seems obvious that there's still time & patriotic as hell - fully committed to democracy & people, over large institutions & powers.
