So now it's 2019, a year after Cambridge Analytica broke, and suddenly the tech elite have a lot to say about the future of the web.

Zuckerberg's published his four point plan for the internet which included some decentralized ideology:

And then we got Mike Masnick's Protocols, Not Platforms a few months later:

It was like overnight, Technocrats were all about that decentralized life. Something about 2019, I don't know what.
