RE: Decenternet: Downsides of a Decentralized Internet
By your argumentation you also argue against cryptocurrencies themselves...What if I told you there already is childporn hashed in BTCs Blockchain (would you want to destroy the whole chain?)...Monero can also be used to financially support terrorists without no1 ever realizing who it was and where did the funds go. The Steem also doesn’t have any dedicated moderators and people are forming "guilds" that do take this responsibility on themselves etc.
Basically freedom supports both good and bad actors. I kinda didn’t get what it is you want from the text. Could you explain to me what it is:)?
I perhaps didn't explain myself clearly. I'm not arguing to do away with technology because of the downsides. If that were the case, we could just argue against life itself. I am saying there are dangers to embracing decentralization for the sake of decentralization. For every upside there is a downside. There should be some balance in the process of thinking about such things. Ideally, the decentralization element would address the downsides and formulate a solution.
Understood and agreed!
