You're always building a castle in someone else's kingdom.

If you're publishing on your own website instead of a social media platform, your new Kings are your domain registrar, registry operator and ultimately ICAN itself, your hosting provider, Let's Encrypt, all the email providers you need to be able to deliver to (notably Microsoft and Google), and probably also your payments provider.

Despite what people say, the internet is not decentralized, and it's no longer possible to build a site that isn't in anybody else's kingdom.

This is mostly a good thing, if this wasn't true, somebody would have set up a site that was a safe haven for child porn, and there'd be nothing that anybody could ever do about it.

To whom have these bodies caused problems, to anywhere near the same extent as mass market social media networks?

OP is close to defending sovereign citizens.

Well-regulated, established organizations are not threats to liberty; on the contrary, they’re required for a well functioning community (of netizens)

Some kings thought that they were bound to gods so in the name of total freedom they announced themselves as “god-kings”
