I think this post get at least 2 things wrong: (1) Even if decentralization is not a panacea, it remains the only solution for a host of problems. Including privacy on the internet. Also, personal server as easy to use as Facebook itself are definitely possible. When such servers actually ship, they will be worth the hassle. (2) Everyone should quit every centralized services on this planet, including Facebook, provided there is an alternative. The logs they gather are just too scarily comprehensive. That, and 2 most disturbing points: (1) This post actually encourages us to stay dependent on a big corporation, in the hope that we could influence it for our own good. No, we can't. If we are dependant, they can screw us, and will do so as soon as it yields money. (2) It fears that more free systems could be used to do child pornography, among other crimes. To me that's FUD: even if she's right, that doesn't mean that the criminality will rise, nor that the criminals will be harder to catch. And we already have Freenet.
