*** Going back to centralization *** Going back to centralization
After reading all this, one might be tempted to feel like the
situation is hopeless.
Perhaps we ought to just put power back in the hand of central
authorities and hope for the best.
We will read it to our readers to look back at the problematic
power structures that probably lead them to examine distributed
social networks in the first place to see why this won't work.
But at the very least, companies don't have a good history of
standing up for human rights; if the choice is between doing
business in a country or not violating its citizens' rights,
most companies will seek to maximize value for their shareholders.
But don't give up hope!
There is a way out of this mess, after all.
