I tend to believe that centralization of power will lead to corruption simply by making it more possible/likely.
Do you think that something like Ethereum (https://www.ethereum.org https://www.ethereum.org) would enable us to sidestep these kinds of problems, at least on the web?
What other ways might we design our systems to be resilient against unethical treatment?

Completely agree. > Do you think that something like Ethereum (https://www.ethereum.org https://www.ethereum.org) would enable us to sidestep these kinds of problems, at least on the web? Honestly not sure. Part of the problem with the way things work today is that everyone is chasing money -- the next hot app, the next unicorn. That's how FB, Apple and Android attracted people into their walled gardens. As long as we have hungry developers, we are going to have the problem with gardens attracting them.
