I see, ok, thanks for sharing that. I have previously worked on a system that combined Hive with Twitch and it seems like the simulcasting policy might have killed that! I can see why that would be a problem for you. Ultimately, most/all of the web 2 corporations have already moved towards such control of the users - or likely will in future. There is a pyramid system of control in the corporate world that has powermongers taking over other corporations for power gains and so an inevitable clampdown on their 'customers' continues indefinitely.
Decentralisation is the only bulletproof solution to this, so even though it may require more adaptation and imagination than web 2, the long term results should be far more palatable!
