OK, so nobody said decentralization is easier. There's been plenty of academic papers saying pretty much the same as you do. But we have to, not for technical reasons, but for ethi…

Right, but if you had data that were just that confidential to you, that's the easy part. Just encrypt it and don't let anybody look. I don't really have that kind of data, but I d…

Oh, but that's more a matter of where you start and what you bootstrap. In both cases, DNS and TLS CA-based stuff is about trust. You need to trust the DNS server, as there could b…

Right, so that's one of the reasons why Solid is built on top of Linked Data and RDF, we need the power of these technologies to support those advanced use cases. The Web Access Co…
