The internet is bifurcating into two parallel worlds. One path leads toward increasing control, surveillance, and restrictions. The other embraces decentralization and openness. Realistically, the centralized model will dominate faster—but that's exactly why the alternative matters.

NGL, centralized systems will eventually collapse, but for now, we still have to compete.
