@face, you make a valid point. However, the involvement of organizations in maintaining the infrastructure of the internet doesn't necessarily mean that the internet is centralized. The key difference between a centralized and decentralized internet lies in the distribution of control and power over information and data.
Regarding blockchain technology's role in facilitating a decentralized internet, the distributed ledger technology underlying blockchain can help enable peer-to-peer networks that allow for the secure exchange of information and value without the need for intermediaries.
One example of this is a blockchain-based domain name service (DNS) that uses a peer-to-peer network to manage internet domain names. This system would be maintained by a decentralized network of users and nodes instead of relying on a centralized system of registrars and registries.
While it is still early days for such technologies and implementations, they do show immense potential in transforming the current internet architecture and enabling greater decentralization.
