A decentralized web would give power back to the people online
So nobody can &quot;give the power back&quot; to anybody, but people can stop giving their power away to others. We all have power, and we manifest it through our actions and choices.<p>Some say knowledge is power, but in order to gain knowledge you have to make that choice. One can try to educate people about the benefits of hosting their own data, but unless they make the choice to listen and understand it&#x27;s all for nothing.<p>I tend to agree with others that posted here, that in general, people are just not interested. It may be too hard for them to grasp the real implications of giving all those informations about them to third parties.. They may also consider that it&#x27;s too hard to handle all those problems by themselves so they&#x27;re willing to pay the prices...<p>I don&#x27;t think that the change can happen unless the people who do understand, do something about it, but usually these people are more interested to cash in on the ignorance of those who don&#x27;t...
