Step 1. Jurisdiction passes law restricting encrypted secure social platforms, requiring back doors, etc.
Legislation has criminal penalties for non compliance.
Step 2. Jurisdiction will take 1-2 years to "police the perimeter" and identify entities within scope of the legislation.
Step 3. Ban-Hammer nails down non compliant platforms, enforcement phase. Usually 3-4 years after passing of legislation.
We are (in UK, Canada, aus, EU, ) currently in step 2.
Mozilla and all other entities may bring enforcement matters to court however once a law is passed it's really hard to argue against it. Judges enforce the laws and interpret them.
I wouldn't assume mozzila backing protects from 1984 government. Problem is most of those entities are doxxed and thus have balls to grab. Government will grab them and squeeze.
solution : don't be doxxed. dont use legal entities like foundations or not for profits for your projects. Do them a-la-satoshi and give a finger to the central state
