After watching the uTube video from ReasonTv on Blockstack , I couldn't help but be concerned for these individuals. They are noble in their ideas about bringing the internet back to what it was intended to be. As the intention was for everyone to share in the internet, not just corporations and government, to benefit and prosper. It was going to make the world of relationships, smaller, with 7 billion people of similar interests grouping together. Trust and honesty were to be the true values.
Yet, the early ideas were subverted by government spy agencies, and mega internet conglomerates. Backdoors were put in software. Corporations were making the rules what could and couldn't be done on the internet, and profiting off of peoples activity. Instead of trust, every computer device is compromised, and can be hacked for surveillance, malware, or theft.
Today, we have these young developers who have taken the original ideas, and have run with them to start firms. These Millennials will be against vested interests that have both power and money to lose. This concerns me, because I like the direction these young people are going. Will they be safe creating the means to topple centralization? What are your thoughts? In part 2 , I will discuss the past history of change makers. Here is the uTube video I eluded to in this blog. Enjoy.
