- kiawe_fire 4y agoI don’t really understand. Open standards are great. Forcing every company by law to adopt a single open standard will have positive implications more so than not having any open standards, but it will also very much lead to the same concerns of centralization that the author expresses. In any case, the “foundation of the internet and all it has bred” and the standards driving it are an excellent example of why competing OPEN standards are good, and why forced adoption of just one standard would be harmful. So, I’m honestly not sure if you’re agreeing with me or if I’m missing something.
