    The internet should be entirely decentralized. We have the technology.

        Not nearly as much as it should be. In many places certain ISPs have near monopolies over internet access, and domains and dns used on the web are managed by ICANN. Sure, there’s alternatives to that, but barely anyone knows or uses them

            I understand what you’re saying but it feels wrong to lump Cloudflare in with Google and Amazon. Clouflare, thus far anyway, has been mostly a force of good for the internet.

          Companies having a geographic monopoly over access to the internet doesn’t change the fact that the Internet as a whole is decentralized.

          That being said, yes, something should be done about ISPs.
