I don’t think I understand the question.
The Internet isn’t supposed to have a “center”, at all. If it ever does, something has gone wrong.
Federation, like what we’re doing here, can make it so that everyone’s personal “center” can be whatever platform they choose to use most of the time. Someone trying to communicate may be using an entirely different one, it will still get federated to whatever you prefer.

In Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, the NPC who asks “where are you from” and we get the options “yes” and “no”.
(He has not heard of yes town, nor does he believe we don’t come from anywhere at all.)

- Comment on Anon studies Organic Chemistry 1 week ago:
I was a university student around ten years ago and we usually wrote our names and student identification numbers right on the exam. For the most part our professors didn’t really know us very well anyway (due to the number of students), so I never questioned why it should not be so.
- Comment on The Internet's Biggest Annoyance:Why Cookie Laws Should Target Browsers, Not Websites 2 weeks ago:
One problem I can think of with the idea of legally requiring browsers to do anything at all is, how does this apply to hobbyist open source browsers? Will it be illegal to start developing a new browser in public unless it already has this feature?

- Comment on Apple demands EU repeal the Digital Markets Act 1 month ago:
I can think of plenty that is arguably wrong with at least the GDPR: the definition of “processing of personal data” is so broad that it can arguably cover way more than intended, and the extraterritorial effect sets a precedent that governments can regulate the Internet beyond their borders. But that is off-topic here and I’m not exactly in a mood to write essays about it…
- Comment on Apple demands EU repeal the Digital Markets Act 1 month ago:
The DMA is one of the very rare examples where it’s a good thing that governments are regulating technology. Most of the time it is a bad thing, but requiring interoperability and sideloading – it’s kind of sad that it’s necessary to solve that by regulation and market forces alone don’t work, yet here we are.
- Comment on REU general part - answer to question 1426 on whether the minister believes that it is also not a right to freedom to communicate via iMessage and WhatsApp, as the messages here are also encrypted 1 month ago:
The answer seems to be in this PDF: www.ft.dk/samling/20231/almdel/reu/…/2913128.pdf
Apparently Google Translate can’t translate PDFs, but when I copy and paste the text into Google Translate, I get this:
We know that social media and encrypted services are unfortunately largely used to facilitate many forms of crime. There are examples of how criminal gangs use encrypted platforms to recruit very young people to commit serious crimes, including crimes against humanity. This is an expression of cynicism that is almost completely incomprehensible.
We therefore need to look at how we can eliminate this problem.
Both in terms of what the services themselves do, but also what we, as authorities, can do. It must not be the case that criminals can hide behind encrypted services that the authorities cannot access.
Therefore, we, as a government, will also strengthen the police’s capabilities in the area of decryption, of course under appropriate legal guarantees,
as is also the case today. In addition, the Ministry of Justice’s Criminal Justice Committee has just begun a mandate to look at the challenges that technological developments pose to police investigations, including the use of encrypted messaging services. I also note that steps have been taken within the EU towards stronger regulation of, among other things, digital information services and social media platforms. For example, the European Commission has presented a proposal for a new regulation on rules to prevent and combat the sexual abuse of children. The proposed regulation contains rules on obligations for certain online services to minimize the risk that their services are misused for the sexual abuse of children online, and the services may, if necessary, be required to detect, report, remove and block access to material that depicts child sexual abuse.
The government has a strong focus on eliminating digital abuse – this is not least true when it comes to sexual abuse of children – and, unlike the opposition, supports the proposed regulation.so basically a complete failure to answer the question, containing only things we already knew or could guess, not very interesting

- Comment on Elon Musk is trying to silence Microsoft employees who criticize Charlie Kirk 1 month ago:
Without exception? No, I don’t think that’s true, it’s just the loudest ones, unfortunately.
For genuine free speech supporters like me, this is a problem because it makes the phrase “free speech” look bad and thereby contributes to a decline in it.
