I’ve just had my paper, The Myth of the Decentralised Internet, published in the Internet Policy Review. I’ve long been bothered by claims that the Internet will bring about a more just world simply through the force of its “decentralized” technology, which cannot be controlled (or so the claims say). This paper is my attempt at debunking this myth; and hopefully contributing to a conversation in which technology is only one component of a larger set of social-political-economic elements which structure power on the Internet.
