Your preassumption seems to be that centralised networks are somehow unavoidable in tech. I would argue otherwise - both Facebook and Twitter could exist decentralised - it would just be less profitable for the companies.
- username90 6y agoIt being less profitable effectively makes it an impossibility without regulations.
- mc32 6y agoWhen advertising revenue is involved less revenue does not mean poor. Look at how much money google and facebook have to waste!
- username90 6y agoYeah, which is why it would be possible with regulations. If it wasn't enough to cover costs then it wouldn't be possible with regulations either.
- ImprobableTruth 6y agoI think the point is that no company will ever willingly choose to make less money unless they're forced to.
- winston_smith 6y agoNow that we see what ad based, centralized social media / surveillance companies lead to, more and more people have reasons to take their business elsewhere.
