"how much decentralization do we need?"
I think, that hits the nail on its head.
Many people are happy with MANGA basically owning the Internet and many people aren't.
If we look at companies bending the knee for China or shutting down accounts, simply because they have different moral than the account owners, it's clear that we need much more decentralization than we have right now.
How much? I don't know.
- loceng 5y agoI think part of the solution is to make sure there is a functional and tested decentralized system that's available as a fallback or failsafe, say in case the system(s) get captured by tyranny or authoritarians; and these fallback systems must be enshrined in policy/constitution, so that if they're ever attacked or targeted then that becomes a canary signal. Data mobility could also perhaps be considered the other side of the decentralized coin.
