My god, that's terrifying, and likely to happen more as time goes on and the fediverse becomes more widely used.

I really hope at one point there is a project that fully embraces IPFS or something similar to host these services out of the reach of Gov agencies. Not sure how that would be achieved, but the world needs it badly.

That and encrypted DMs, really, that should be priority number 1

I hear you, but if I really wanted to do off the record communications, I would simply use a separate encrypted messenger.

I just hope at one point that it would become obvious that leaving this wide open for abuse from unscrupulous admins is not a good idea.
