I feel like there should be a contengency for social platform so that they can still be accessed without vpn if they are banned by dictators.

Social platform are like water for modern age.They must be purified to consume but not outight banned.

How do you access a blocked server without a vpn/proxy? You can keep adding IPs but that doesn't scale and there are more ways to block than just IP bans. A government has infinitely more resources to waste than a company that needs to be profitable. Governments will happily dedicate a hundred-people team just to eradicate your site, if it helps the politicians in charge.
