We're wondering about Debian. Won't want to, but might do it.
There will definitely be distros and people who won't be doing this, so if they're blocked from regular apps/the internet, they'll probably have to just create a new internet, which people have been wanting for a while. The only thing is they'll be cut off from talking to people on devices who don't care about civil rights, which seems to be the vast majority.
In light of Cali, Brazil, NY, Co, the content which they see as harmful is actually useful to them, as it provides for something they want to do, ie collect information on citizens. Instead of just focusing on the actual harmful content, or deciding if and how it is harmful. Or just have an internet that doesn't allow corn.
