Technology companies are increasing by the day and have monopoly over our data. We have to fight it because if not, they’ll eventually become too powerful.
I believe we have to strive for decentralization of everything. Decentralization of social media, decentralization of money. Decentralization of hosting. This is the only way to combat the trend.
There’s a zero sum game in the power struggle between the centralized agents and decentralized agents. If we win, they loose. If they win, we loose.
You can think of democracy itself not as a condition but as that process that gradually decentralizes power, be it economic, political, technological, informative or otherwise.
