Is Decentralised technology the permanent solution to the privacy crisis?

As early blockchain users, we must propagate decentralisation to the masses while also battling the IT juggernauts who are its natural opponents. If you’re into crypto or blockchain, there’s a good chance I don’t have to spell out the benefits of decentralisation. You’re a first-generation internet user with front-row seats to the global premiere of Web3, a technology that will progressively determine the internet’s future.
The access and management of the internet have always been as centralised now. The network did not need to focus on a single-core processor in the early days when it was under the supervision of the US Department of Defence. What if the main node was lost by a terrorist attack or a missile strike? To reduce risk, individual network components had to communicate without depending on a single computer. Later, the unregulated Internet Research Task Force, which supported the establishment of all web services, worked extremely hard to prevent private companies or countries from acquiring control over the network.
Today, the world’s richest companies manage and run centralised app nodes that handle big data. Private companies can encourage and act as facilitators by customising the customer experience on applications. When centralised nodes go down, billions of people lose their primary method of communication, as happened with Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger in October 2021.
We’ve also seen how very few tech powerhouses care for our security when money is on the line: they gather and sell our data on a large scale. After more than a year of service,
Mark Zuckerberg has openly co-opted the metaverse after many decade of treating people as advertising merchandise. Meanwhile, Google and Apple continue their constant pursuit of every nook and cranny of our existence.
