  It's interesting that he is pushing the decentralization concept while at the same time decrying hate speech on the web. Wouldn't a non-centralized version of the web make it harder to police said speech? As a disclaimer, I am not advocating the policing of speech in any way and am against that concept.

    You wouldn't be able to control what people publish on their own devices, but for those people to be able to spread their (unwanted) content would be presumably harder.

    It's not clear that he's decrying hate speech so much as decrying the amplification effect on it that the current state of the tech world enables.

    > Wouldn't a non-centralized version of the web make it harder to police said speech? It might make it easier, by not connecting to those parts of the decentralized web where hate-speech is prevalent. Of course, this might then amplify echo-chambers.
