>>13047857>there is no central hub to the internet thoughIt possess points of centralisation, like going in and out of countries, or discarded and filtered by news aggregators or search indexers. Each has its form of perniciousness that leads back to the posters comment i was referencing.
Take for example Youtube, open up the chromium dev tools network tab as you browse to see just how closely your behaviour is tracked. Furthermore, if you remain a skeptic, remove your credentials, cookies, localstorage etc, and play a game of guess who with the youtube algo. It gives me a cookie that points to my recommends after about 5-6 videos.
Furthermore we can discuss the centralisation issues brought forth with the cloud. services like AWS have providers by the balls, and than there is always the DDOS mafia if you build your own baremetal servers.
All of these occurrences compile to the affect of increasing centralisation behind the scenes, very much like how shell corporations became a thing.
