So what you're saying is, a bigger issue than internet centralization is internet centralization?

  Yes. The post I replied to mentioned a specific category of centralization, given by the "hierarchical topology of the internet". That everybody uses Facebook/Google/whatever is also a kind of centralization. Generally you can get a domain name, an IP address and freely send packets around, and that is comparatively unrestricted by censorship and surveillance.

    Only because surveillance at a higher level works well. But if you do something that the powers-that-be can't accept (although it's within the laws), depending on the powers-that-be, you can have a tap placed on your ISP or your domain revoked or taken over. Again an instance of centralization being exploited. But other than illegal wireless broadcast I wonder if there is any remedy for censorship/control at this level.
