I think the key is building a social information system based on connections we have in real life. Key exchange parties, etc

It's the only way to introduce a prohibitively high cost to centralized broadcast and reduce the power of these mega-entities

Could you clarify? A sneaker net? Peer to peer?

I think the good news is, regardless of what gets done, people are hungry for real connections and the old internet.
