Seriously any centralised social network hosted in the USA, Russia, China, Australia (to name but a few) is fully traceable, can easily be censored, and can be held legally accountable.

No so easy with peer-to-peer networks or decentralised networks hosted across numerous countries. It’s not impossible, but seriously centralised network = no privacy.

    I honestly don’t understand how you can trust any social media or service in general that’s based in the US.

      Yes I was thinking that too afte ri posted… Parler’s first move surely was to host offshore. That was really pretty dumb of them (or intentional).
