Ask HN: Why Decentralization Matters?

1 pointsby joddystreetover 5 years ago
I keep reading about the decentralized internet, internet monopolies, data privacy, ability to control the protocol, the network and that the pioners of the internet had a different vision.<p>I feel that it&#x27;s an important topic to explore and have a thought process around it.<p>But, I am missing the key building blocks for the idea and I am not able to build a narrative about the importance of decentralization or do we really need it?<p>I want to understand the topic from the first principles and the conflicting philosopihes around it.

A lot of thought on that topic may exist here [<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;redecentralize.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;redecentralize.org&#x2F;</a>]. Might be a good reference point for you.
