Why is this a good reason to prefer decentralized networks? Slack is a tool for employees at a company to communicate with each other. At some point those communications need to arrive back at a server that lives inside the boundaries of a nation state that is one of the world's major economies. Most of the major governments of the world work together to regulate the worlds networks. But even if that wasn't true, what would you get by trying to leave the networks? Are you trying to evade the law? If so, why? If you don't like the law, you can always lobby to change it, but there will always be laws. You can and should work to make the laws better, but still there will be laws, and we all gain some benefit from living in a society with laws. Or if you disagree, what do you think the alternative is?
