Right, because people understand and care about that.

So much that they've flocked by the billions to closed, centralized platforms.

Here's the thought process of most internet users: "Are all my friends doing it?" "Does it have cute pictures of kittens?" YES -> Click on it.

"Open", "decentralized", or "user controlled" don't enter into it at all.

But I for one will not use something that is "Closed", "centralized", or "kitten controlled"!

It was a great idea for the EU to legislate "One True Connection", because we now have "One True Connection" rather than eleventy-billion connectors, soon to be eleventy-billion-and-one connectors.

I only need to connect my 'phone to charge it. I really don't give a shit if it's Micro, C-type, Mini or Purple Dildo shaped.

All you need is one of these puppies:

I'm not sure if I'd rather have the NSA spying on my or China trying to steal my intellectual property.

I don't believe this is an either/or situation.

And if you're not sure what that means, Google "double penetration"... but maybe not at work.
Then again, with Google in the mix it will be "triple penetration"...
bottom line is everyone will have your data and you will be screwed, like now but faster!
