> Centralization has also created broader societal tensions, which we see in the debates over subjects like fake news, state sponsored bots, “no platforming” of users, EU privacy laws, and algorithmic biases. These debates will only intensify in the coming years.
This doesn't make any sense to me. It sure looks like motivated reasoning. What's the connection? The fewer sites there are, the more fake the news there will be? Why? State sponsored bots benefit from there being fewer platforms? When everyone had a blog, were blogs ever known for keeping out comments from bots? EU privacy laws only apply to large centralized sites? C'mon. I can see “no platforming” of users and algorithmic biases being related to centralization at least.
