What if we specify as an open standard (in protocol) a client proxy service, such that nothing about it ever ties a client to a particular one. All they do is offload the fetching work. If you suspect they aren't serving you correctly you point your client to a different one. As long as there is no friction involved in switching away from a proxy that is censoring, I don't think there would be a drive for them to aggregate into a single service. You wouldn't be switching apps, you'd be pointing your app elsewhere.

I'm not suggesting aggregating everything, just doing the fetching on behalf of the clients and using the local cache to assist if possible.

Also of course the caching proxy would be doing the outbox model.
