RE: Torrent of Loathsome Libel Suits Brought Against Assassinated Journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia

Thanks for posting this @v4vapid. I was not aware of this situation and I am glad you brought it to my attention.

Just this morning I wrote that we need to stop talking about cryptocurrency and blockchain and focus upon the aspect of decentralization.

As I was reading this, I was thinking about someone like her posting her content on the here, even under a non identifying name, to get the word out. The problem with centralization is that power corrupts. Often they have control of the media and are willing to go to any length to preserve it.

The system of control around the world is based upon centralization of power. We need to do all we can to break this. Every person in the world needs to know they can come on a site like this and let their voice be heard. Plus, it is a great way to bring awareness while drumming up support.

Another point is that mafia style executions or ties to organized crime doesnt matter. Almost all governmental entities are tied to criminal behavior. Some are in bed with the mafia, others with corporations...ironic the actions of one can be legal for the other.

Sorry to go a bit off track but this speaks to the center of what I have thought about lately...the great need for global decentralization...in as many areas of life as we can achieve it.

I really do agree with you @taskmaster4450. Centralization is like a plaque that needs to be removed from this world. It's a good thing that most areas of life are undergoing decentralization by the revolutionary blockchain.
With writing and blogging decentralized as it is on steemit, things like this could be avoided. Power will be decentralized and there will worldwide to a certain extent.
I say to a certain extent because I don't believe the world can undergo complete decentralization. I believe you agree with me @taskmaster4450
