What about the idea stimulates the thought of artificial limits? I see it as growing and shaping the options to include everyone's views, rather than artificially limiting anything at all.
Like if group A likes privacy, group B likes control of their people, and group C likes complete transparency of communications, you might make a blockchain app where the ISP can toggle some reviewable privacy feature for their subnetwork to be set by user consensus, denied subnetwork-wide, or forced on subnetwork-wide. You'd open the project to any concerns and mediate them all to be fully included, such that anyone who can communicate with the design process can massage the product to meet their preferences, no matter who they are. I'm used to thinking of crowdsourcing funds and developers from potential users, as opposed to seeking investors. I guess businesses are used to starting with money, though.
