Say that to a libertarian lol. Especially an anarcho-capitalist.<p>I actually see this as a consequence of technology. Before git, version control was mostly centralized. Before Linux, WebKit and open source explosion, the OSes and browsers were manufactured by one or two main companies, and compared to what we expect now, the IE monopoly and other siloed monopoly products seemed terrible. I predict facebook will seem that way in the future when we have choice where to host our own social node, and which plugins to install.<p>There is a lot of power imbalance with centralization. The consolidation of telcos led to the net neutrality debate, but the problem is central control by huge players. Amazon can squeeze publishers. Apple rules app developers with an iron fist. Twitter caused a ruckus knocking companies off their playform whenever they felt like it. Google can disconnect a website and have its traffic plummet. Etc etc.<p>I think that when the technology exists, decentralization helps the consumer, through competition and raising their expectations.
