As much as I'm blackpilled by it myself, I still think we'll manage, somehow.
First, Earth thankfully doesn't have any kind of united gov't, even though a lot of existing and influential ones are, in fact, formed a malignant conspiracy. There would be some gray zones for a while. Some shithole Third World jurisdictions, who are poor enough to not employ any control over their segments of the internet. For example I recall reading how some people from Iran used niche Russian micro-blogging platform in the late 2010s 'cause it was outside of their gulag, but still free to access - while russian KGB wouldn't give a fuck to read Persian runes and it was free enough, while it lasted.
Second, the darknet is still here, and it will be here for a while. It's kind of "back to web 1.0", it surely glows and it sucks ass, but it will exist for some more time and it will evolve. We, the people of the formerly free world now have some things to learn from Chinese, Iranians and Russians who got totalitarian internet much earlier than we did, and developed some tricks and tools to circumvent it. I also expect the black market of verified IDs to bloom - you know, ones verified with the biometrics of some grandma or a bum.
Rember gov'ts are weak IRL - and that's the reason they lash out at anyone on the internet, to uphold an illusion of control at least over the terminally online crowd. They can't manage shit in the meatspace - be it sprawling slums, rampant drug addiction or street crime.
