One of the most sneaky takeovers of the internet, is in the behind-the-scenes operations, like the akamais and cloudflares. They have created a second internet within the internet, and if you are not using their internet or some major cloud service, it's like you are subject to a whole sort of DDOS vectors. So they've managed to centralize the "resilient" Internet in a few private companies.
I think this is what must be "taken back" first and foremost.
Agreed! This can be taken back by having the clients served from a blockchain with many nodes. Which is what Steem is leading us to.
This is one of the most important comments I've seen from you. Upvoted with vigor.
Thanks :D
