But Facebook and Google splitting up the internet into their own fiefdoms presents its own set of really bad problems.Permalink On twitter.com

metaviv But at the end of the day, centralization and monopoly leads to tyranny. It is inevitable. Our approaches cannot suggest or depend on that.Permalink On twitter.com
