Re: The internet, Utopia, Centralization effect

While the internet has the potential to support utopian ideals, the centralization of internet services and data control by a few large corporations poses significant risks. Centralization can lead to monopolistic behaviors, privacy concerns, and unequal power distribution, which undermine the democratic and egalitarian principles of a utopian society.

Re: The internet, Utopia, Centralization effect

To survive in a regulated environment, darknet platforms are evolving their strategies. Some adopt jurisdictional arbitrage, relocating servers and operations to jurisdictions with more favorable privacy laws. Others engage in legal advocacy and transparency initiatives to shape regulatory discourse and protect user rights globally.
