Also, while #CentralAuthority model can be abused, so can be #DNS. I think something like I am siding with I2P more and more.

@kcoram
1) #Tor and #i2p need to be seen as the #newInternet (we always thought it was weird that we had to run to a #centralAuthority to get a #domainName),

2) #monopolies like #Youtube (see #Google), #Microsoft and #Clouclare need to be broken up, and

3) we need to understand the importance of #decentralisation, as a form of #censorship resistance and #immunity

The #legacyInternet need to be left to die in peace.

Permissioned systems trust:
- #centralauthority
- software developers
- node owners/operators
- secrecy of a few private keys

Short talk at Asilomar Microcomputer Workshop

I gave a revised version of Blockchain: What's Not To Like? in the 2019 Asilomar Microcomputer Workshop's Athematic session. Below the fold...

New #ITtools required for functional #transparency & #democracy ..:

a) #uncensorable and #verifiable #citizen #voting . Secured & enforced by e.g. #blockchain + #distributed #checksums and #P2P #storage .

b) Enforce real #representativeGovernment through citizen-controlled transparency for decision-making in #politics using #multilayer #digitalidentity & #decentralized #socialMedia .

c) #MultiFactor #authentication incl. a mix of #biometrics + manual factors. Controlled by each person, not a #centralAuthority . No need for #passports etc. anymore.

d) Decentralized / #synchronized storage, verifiable (#irrefutable) by anyone, any time, anywhere. (Soon technical & #economical #reality. We're at the brink of a #disruptive storage #technology #breakthrough . Needed for most parts of modern #progress / #society / #business )

#ITstrategy
#perspective
#future
